Mobius Materials Recovery

-

Mobius Materials Recovery is a specialist provider of waste management and site cleaning services for the constructi­on industry. Builders all over Melbourne and Victoria are already reaping the rewards from Mobius' one stop shop approach. Soil and rock deliveries/pickup, bobcat services, hourly labour hire, site cleans, OHS cleans, backfills, fixed prices and site-per-site quoting are all part of the service. Together they are achieving a more cost effective recycling solution and striving to divert around 90 per cent of excess building materials from landfill.

The company's purpose-built sorting facility in Dandenong receives, separates and recovers many different waste streams. Current common practice in the industry limits the recycling capabiliti­es due to products needing to be placed in different bins on each building site. The Mobius approach allows the builders to place all their waste in or next to the one Mobius cage or bin.

On average a standard new home produces 18-30 tonnes of waste materials including concrete, bricks, timber, plasterboa­rd, etc. which are suitable for recovery. 18 tonnes is approximat­ely the volume of 6 cars. Considerin­g there are over 36,000 new homes built in Victoria each year, that is a lot of waste that can be saved from landfill. The Dandenong sorting facility produces recycled crushed rock, timber mulch, soil, waste to energy product and returns metals, paper and cardboard into manufactur­ing.

Mobius currently supplies their large format timber mulch to dairy and cattle farmers to provide long- lasting dry and diseasefre­e access to laneways and calving bays along with providing weed and erosion control. Their crushed rock product is also proving to be a valued product for temporary access pavements and backfills.

Mobius is a company with a conscience and interest in reducing landfill, providing builders with data on how to reduce their building waste along with a multitude of different on-site services and providing Victoria with an economical supply of longlastin­g farm-grade mulch. CALL 1800 MOBIUS
