What Tox Free Solutions does

Tox Free Solutions is an Australian waste management company founded in 2001 and headquartered in Perth. According to the source data, the entity is now private and operates within the larger Cleanaway group (ASX: CWY), which is described as Australia's leading waste management and resource recovery company with more than 70 years of operating history. The combined operation delivers collection, recycling, treatment, and disposal services across general waste, recycling, organic waste, hazardous waste, liquid waste, healthcare waste, industrial services, product destruction, grease trap maintenance, and waste oils, supported by Australia's largest infrastructure footprint of 350+ active sites and a fleet of 6,400+ vehicles.

The underlying technology is physical rather than digital: a national network of certified collection, recycling, treatment, and disposal facilities, including domain-specialised sites such as the Kemps Creek Soft Plastics Recycling Facility, where testing and development work is conducted in partnership with Cycleback Plastics. Service delivery is supported by digital channels including a 'Request a Quote' customer engagement tool, public-facing 'Find a Location' drop-off site finder, the Greenius e-learning education platform, and ASX-grade investor communications infrastructure for the parent group.

The business model is built on contracted waste services revenue. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to waste type, volume, and service requirements, delivered through multi-year contracts, producing a recurring services revenue stream. Go-to-market combines enterprise and field sales to large businesses and ~140 municipal and local councils, direct 'Request a Quote' engagement for SMEs, and public drop-off access for individual consumers and small businesses. Customer segments span government (municipal councils), large enterprise/industrial, SMEs, and a healthcare vertical, with sustainability and compliance positioned as primary value drivers.
