Biosolids

Your complete biosolids waste management solution starts here.

Biosolids are a by-product of the sewage treatment process. When sewage sludge is treated to an acceptable standard, the resulting biosolids can be used for beneficial uses such as application to agricultural land, for landscaping and soil amendment after composting. Total biosolids production is about 300,000 tonnes per year of dry solids.

Biosolids are rich in essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and organic matter.

Over recent years the NSW Government has been re-evaluating how sewage should be treated and disposed of so that improvements to both environmental and public health can be assured.

The overriding concern has been to try to move away from the traditional and unsustainable disposal of sewage to waterways, and to recognise that sewage contains a number of natural qualities which can, when managed judiciously, be utilised as a resource.

Wanless offers integrated biosolids treatment and consultation through innovative systems and procedures. Our biosolid material is carefully treated, monitored and utilised in accordance with Australian regulatory requirements, ensuring that we meet your needs and deliver safety and quality while minimising environmental and community impacts.

Organics management

Green organics

Green organics is considered grass and flower cuttings, shrub and yard clipping, woodchips, bark, hedge trimmings, weeds, fallen leaves or branches.

Soil Injection

Wanless tackles food waste, in part, by applying high nutrient liquid waste to land as fertiliser. Soil injection of liquid food wastes is a low cost, environmentally sustainable waste management option that provides benefits for the farmer and the waste generator.

Food Waste

Food waste includes all food intended for human consumption that never reaches us, as well as edible food that consumers throw away. Perfectly edible fresh produce is often turned away from supermarket shelves because it does not meet the optimal criteria for consumers, such as shape, size and colour.

Secure organic product destruction

We can collect and transport your organic products securely and in compliance with all local laws and regulations. Materials are handled and recovered quickly, efficiently and without compromising your commercial intellectual property and confidentiality.

We’re more than waste management

A staggering 9 million tonnes of plastic ends up in the world’s oceans each year, and land-based waste is the greatest polluter. This ocean debris affects about 700 marine species, some of which are now endangered.

To help turn the tide on plastic pollution, Wanless eco(logical) is investing in Australia’s oceans.
