What Remondis Australia does

REMONDIS Australia Pty Ltd is the Australian operating subsidiary of the REMONDIS Group, one of the world's largest recycling, services, and water companies. Established in Australia in 1982 and headquartered in Mascot, NSW, the company provides end-to-end waste management across 40+ locations in every mainland state and the ACT, serving 24,000+ commercial, industrial, municipal, and government customers with approximately 1,200 employees. Its core offerings span solid waste collection, co-mingled and segregated recycling, organics processing, hazardous and regulated waste handling, liquid waste treatment, medical and clinical waste, industrial cleaning, secure document destruction, and water/wastewater management through the Aqua Australia sub-brand. The company also produces recovered products such as compost and operates Resource Recovery Facilities (RRFs), Organic Resource Recovery Facilities (ORRFs), liquid waste processing facilities, landfills, and waste transfer stations.

The company's technology stack is centred on physical infrastructure rather than software differentiation: fleet depots, processing facilities, and sorting installations (including new sorting technology at the Rocklea RRF). Digital touchpoints include the REMONDIS Online self-service e-commerce platform for SMB and transactional buyers and the IMS Client Portal for managed-service enterprise accounts. Sub-brands and integrated businesses include Aqua Australia (water services), REMONDIS IMS (Integrated & Managed Services), REMONDIS Online, ETS/Envirotreat (contaminated soil and hazardous waste), and most recently VetraHealth (medical waste, acquired Feb 2026 and integrated into the Rocklea RRF).

Commercially, REMONDIS Australia generates revenue primarily through subscription-style recurring service contracts (waste collection, resource recovery, medical waste, hazardous waste, IMS managed services), supplemented by transactional self-service purchases via REMONDIS Online and brokerage/environmental management fees within IMS. Go-to-market is sales-led: enterprise field sales target councils, government departments, and large commercial/industrial operators, while inside sales and the online platform serve SMB and smaller commercial customers. The company's preferred-supplier status on the WA Government CUA and partnerships with Australia Post and QIC illustrate a mix of public-sector, retail-property, and consumer circular-economy revenue channels.
