We are proud to announce that we are the winners for the 2023 "Recycling Solution of The Year" presented by the Demolition Industry Association Western Australia (DIAWA) .

Â
The burgeoning market demand for recycled red clay bricks has been notably evident over the past two years, fueled by heightened sales and enhanced customer engagement. This surge in popularity is particularly evident within various segments, including new housing and commercial constructions, interior and exterior wall installations, as well as the use of recycled bricks in paving, decorative elements, and prominent architectural features, including single and double-story exterior house wall constructions.

The current actual annual throughput at our REDe Bricks facility reflects the materials and tonnages we have successfully processed. As of now, our annual throughput closely aligns with our operational capacity at our existing yard, with the following figures:
Bricks for Reuse: Our facility has the capacity to process and make available for reuse approximately 3 million bricks annually. These bricks are carefully inspected, cleaned, and prepared for resale to construction projects, contributing to the sustainable use of building materials.
Materials Received: We receive approximately 15,000 tonnes of construction and demolition materials annually. These materials primarily consist of bricks, concrete, and other construction debris sourced from various projects.
Repurposed Materials: Our facility successfully repurposes approximately 8,500 tonnes of these materials each year.
Reprocessed Materials: Around 4,000 tonnes of construction materials are annually turned into road base.
Â
Our current annual throughput figures highlight our facility's efficient operations and commitment to recycling and repurposing construction materials. It's important to note that our facility is operating near its current yard capacity, and we are actively planning to expand our operations before the end of the year to accommodate even larger volumes of materials and further enhance our recycling capabilities.
