Operations
Description or Purpose | Popular with medium sized venues our Midi glass bottle crusher is ideal for noise conscious environments. Don’t be fooled by its small footprint, our Midi’s 120L bin storage capacity can hold up to 600 bottles. |
Operating Principles | Bottles are fed into the machine and crushed into the 120L bin. When the bin is full the full sign lights up and replacement of 120L bin is required |
Additional Information | Our solution diverts glass from landfills. Fewer trucks on the road will further reduce carbon emissions. Not all bottles processed will become beverage containers, they will start a new life in the expanding sustainable markets. |

Approvals Related to Use of Output
Important Note on Composting in NSW
In NSW, applying waste to land – including a processed waste such as compost - or using it as a fuel may trigger various regulatory requirements. Depending on the proposed use you may be required to comply with a Resource Recovery Exemption or need to hold an environment protection licence, and pay the waste levy.
While there is a Compost Exemption (2014) it is important to note that drying or dehydrating food waste, or any other compostable waste, is specifically excluded from consideration under this exemption. Drying or dehydrating equipment uses externally supplied energy to heat and ventilate food waste or any other compostable waste in order to rapidly dry the waste material over a short time period (typically 24 to 48 hours), either with or without the addition of an inoculum. If you are interested in this type of equipment you should refer to the resource recovery exemptions for information on lawful use of outputs.
If it is intended to use the material as a fuel, it must comply with the NSW Energy from Waste Policy Statement. http://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/waste/140056enfromwasteps.htm
