What is it and why do we need it?   

Boral is one of Australia’s largest recyclers of construction and demolition waste with over 2m tonnes of construction and demolition materials recycled for re-use and repurposed every year.  

By recovering materials from waste, we are working together to conserve our natural resources, reduce our carbon emissions, divert waste away from landfill and at the same time we work to save construction firms waste disposal costs and energy.  

Boral manages demolition and excavation waste materials such as concrete, sand, and brick that would otherwise be destined for landfill. These materials are then reprocessed through a process of sorting, washing and blending and then turned into recycled, and lower carbon construction materials, ready to be reintroduced back into the industry.  

Boral has made a recent significant investment and commitment to open Boral’s first Queensland Construction and Demolition Resource Recovery facility in Stapylton, Gold Coast. It is set to open in 2025 and it will have the capacity to recycle up to 250,000 tonnes of waste annually which will directly benefit the City’s diminishing municipal putrescible landfill space.
