For the environment

Close the loop on island waste

Island dumpsites leak into groundwater and lagoons, and open burning fouls the air. A circular system recovers that waste and puts every output to use.

The problem we start with

Many island landfills are full or close to the shoreline. Plastics and tyres collect on land and wash into the sea.

Landfill recovery

We take over existing dumpsites, recover buried waste and stop new dumping.

Plastics and tyres out of the ocean

Dedicated pickup keeps plastics and tyres off beaches and out of the lagoon.

Cleaner air

Controlled thermal processing with gas cleaning replaces open burning.

Protected water

Less leachate reaches freshwater lenses, lagoons and reefs.

The circular system

Nothing goes back to the dump

Collection and recovery are where the environmental gains happen.

  • Collect legacy and new waste before it reaches the sea.
  • Recover carbon, metals and glass instead of burying them.
