• The Ecolibrium^TM Organics facility is a fully enclosed, environmentally controlled tunnel composting system using a proven technology.

• The facility is very similar to the highly successful Port Macquarie composting facility that is used by Hastings Council.

• Tunnel composting is a simple technology that uses natural decomposition processes in an enclosed, controlled environment.

• The decomposition process takes place inside concrete tunnels and takes as little as 21 days to produce high quality compost material.

• The facility is designed to process 30,000 tonnes of organics each year, producing around 18,300 tonnes of high-grade compost and mulch.

• The plant can be expanded very simply by adding extra tunnels.

• The facility is designed to minimise the impact of odour on the surrounding community by ensuring that composting activities are contained within concrete tunnels.

• Exhaust air from the tunnels passes through a biofilter to remove odours.

• A strict contamination management program works to ensure that unwanted items are kept out of the compost and that the final product is of a high quality and free of pathogens.

• Contamination received at the Ecolibrium^TM Organics facility (except hazardous and construction materials) is transferred to the Ecolibrium^TM Mixed Waste facility to undergo further processing and extract more beneficial products.
