OREZ has been engaged by Tamworth Regional Council to develop a -state-of-the art organics recycling facility. The facility is designed to support Tamworth’s commitment to environmental sustainability by advancing waste reduction, renewable energy production, and fostering a circular economy in the region. Detailed design is underway with construction estimated to commence in Q3, 2025 with completion forecast for 2027.

Project Highlights:

Scalable Capacity:
Starting with an initial processing capacity of 35,000 tonnes per annum (tpa), the facility is designed to expand to 50,000 tpa to meet the community’s evolving needs.

Advanced Composting Technology:
The facility will feature in-vessel composting (IVC) tunnels to process digestate from the anaerobic digestion (AD) plant and incoming organic materials, producing high-quality, low-emission soil amendments that comply with Australian Standard AS/NZS 4454.

Anaerobic Digestion Integration:
The project will explore the use of advanced AD technology to convert organic waste into biogas for clean energy generation.

Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Unit:
Biogas produced will be utilized by a CHP unit to supply power directly to the facility, with surplus electricity supporting regional renewable energy needs through grid integration.

By supporting the Council’s long-term sustainability strategy with advanced technology and scalable infrastructure, OREZ aim to set a new standard for environmentally responsible waste solutions in regional communities.
