Transforming the Australian recycling industry with clean air solutions

Australian Recycling Nederman

Recycling is second nature to Australians, but what happens once your yellow bin is collected? Harmful dust and fumes in recycling plants put workers and operations at risk. Learn how our clean air solutions help create safer, more sustainable facilities.

Australians are no strangers to recycling efforts with most states opting to utilise the famous yellow bins throughout shopping centres and in residential areas to encourage increased recycling throughout the community. When many people hear the word sustainability their minds go to recycling. 

Most people don’t consider what happens once they’ve placed their recycling in the yellow bins. They may not even realise that Australia has a National Waste Policy Action Plan which sets targets to guide efforts toward reducing waste and boosting recycling. What they also may not know is that, while recycling is undoubtedly a positive practice, the process undertaken by recycling plants comes with a range of challenges and dangers.

The risk of the recycling process

As with other industries we work with, recycling processes also create harmful dusts, fumes and particles that pose serious risks to workers and the wider Australian environment. Without the right systems in place, these airborne contaminants can become more than just an operational issue, they become a serious safety threat. Fortunately, we provide world-class clean air solutions that safeguard Australian workers, streamline operations, and contribute to a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable recycling industry.

Our clean air solutions for a safer recycling industry

We provide ATEX-certified solutions to manage explosion risks through specialised design, while also capturing dust, fumes, and particulates to maintain safe and compliant working environments.


Whether your priority is workplace health or mitigating explosion hazards, our solutions are tailored to support the safety, compliance, and efficiency of Australian recycling plants.


By implementing our clean air technologies, businesses can minimise health risks, ensure air quality, and adhere to stringent work, health, and safety regulations. These solutions give you confidence knowing you are protecting both your workers and your operational space.

Supporting Australia’s sustainability goals

In addition to protecting workers, our solutions help streamline recycling processes, reducing costly downtime and ensuring smooth, continuous operations. By addressing the risks associated with airborne contaminants and explosive dust, we are not only improving the safety of recycling plants but also contributing to Australia’s broader sustainability goals.

Australia’s National Waste Policy Action Plan aims for a 10% reduction in waste per person by 2030 and an 80% recovery rate from all waste streams. Achieving these ambitious goals relies on having the right infrastructure in place and this is something we are proud to support. Our clean air solutions help optimise waste management practices, recycle more effectively, and stay ahead of the regulatory curve, all while contributing to a cleaner, more sustainable future for the industry and the country.

We’re currently in the middle of the timeframe set out by the The National Waste Policy Action Plan and are looking ahead at a brighter, cleaner future, as we continue to lay the foundations for improved recycling practices.
