Environmental Initiatives

Environmental Sustainability

We believe environmental sustainability and the need to manage our environmental impacts is essential. Provided below are details of initiatives JJ’s Waste & Recycling has introduced to assist in achieving environmental goals both within our organisation and for our customers.

Daily Operations

To ensure that our operations meet and where possible exceed environmental requirements, and that all staff consider the environment during their daily operations, we have included environmental management as part of the company’s Integrated Management System (IMS).

  • Procurement (promotion of recycled content products)
  • Recycling
  • Energy conservation
  • Water conservation
  • Spill management
  • Waste management

Research & Development

JJ’s Waste has been at the forefront of innovation in Australia’s waste management industry since 1932. Our innovative initiatives span all facets of our operations including:

  • Plant & Equipment Design and Manufacture
  • Service Delivery
  • Waste Disposal/Conversion Technologies
  • Public Awareness Initiatives

Innovative Plant & Equipment

The Company’s engineering division, JJR Engineering Pty Ltd, manufactures customised waste management plant and equipment for JJ’s Waste and our customers. This research and development division has been responsible for several world firsts in the waste management industry and has a history of reliable, innovative and functional design.

This ensures access to the latest in waste management technology, greater operational efficiencies, exceptional service and personalised waste solutions.

Innovative Service Delivery

JJ’s Waste places significant emphasis on promoting continuous innovation to improve service quality and protect the safety of staff, customers and the environment. The Company believes that the people who know the most about specific tasks/jobs are the employees that are undertaking them on a daily basis. It is for this reason JJ’s Waste has facilitated the use of consultative workgroups and team briefing meetings to allow for two-way communications between staff and management. Employees are encouraged to make suggestions with regards to:

Operational issues

  • Plant/equipment design and operation
  • Bin placement
  • Collection methods

Quality assurance

  • Documentation modifications (run sheets, corrective action requests etc.)
  • Work procedures/practice notes

  • Timeliness

JJ’s Waste is committed to providing our customers with the most sustainable waste recover/disposal options. One recent innovation  has been the inclusion of G-Force at our Wacol facility. G-Force is able to treat used oil, oily waters and sludges to produce oil that is suitable for re-refining. The technology G-Force provides is the first of its kind in Australia, enabling JJ’s Waste to provide a more comprehensive used oil collection and treatment service to our customers. To further our commitment to providing true lube to lube recycling, JJ’s Waste partnered with Southern Oil Refineries to construct the Northern Oil Re-Refinery in Gladstone, Qld which is capable of re-refining 100 million litres of used oil per year.  In addition, JJ’s Waste has partnered with a number of like-minded organisations to provide a wide range of waste recovery and conversion technologies.
