The Cleanaway Perth Material Recovery Facility (MRF) has been reopened with the capacity to process over half of Western Australia’s commingled recycling. The $26 million facility has the capability to recover up to 90% of reusable product and deliver up to 99.5% purity across all fibre and plastic outputs.

Perth MRF has also been enhanced to meet the highest standard for safety and sustainability. A range of fire safety improvements have also been incorporated that go beyond the requirements of the National Construction Code, including concrete bunkers equipped with high hazard automatic sprinklers, smoke detecting system and water monitors, as well automatic inground stormwater isolation valves, aspirated fire smoke detection system and fire tanks with an effective combined capacity of 1.24 million litres.
