HazRad Australia

What HazRad Australia does

HazRad Australia is an Aboriginal-owned, Supply Nation Certified hazardous waste management company headquartered in Bibra Lake, Western Australia. Founded in 2018 to provide PFAS treatment and disposal, the company has built an Australia-wide service network spanning the entire Western Australian coastline plus east-coast locations in Sydney and Melbourne, with prescribed premises, mobile chemist teams, and a forthcoming Wattleup facility. Its technical core includes PFAS treatment (approximately 1.3 million litres treated in situ per day and over 500,000 litres of AFFF concentrate disposed since 2019), licensed radioactive and NORM material handling, intractable Class V waste management, hydrocarbon and fuel recovery, and a 24/7 DMIRS-approved Dangerous Goods emergency response capability covering Classes 2.1 through 9.

Revenue is generated through project-based, quote-driven services to enterprise and government clients across nine named verticals: government (local, state, federal), defence, utilities, mining, oil and gas, chemical and manufacturing, healthcare, hospitality, and logistics. Flagship customers include Laing O'Rourke, Water Corporation, Main Roads Western Australia, Public Transport Authority, the Department of Justice, and Australian Defence sites. The company's go-to-market is enterprise field sales supported by on-site waste audits and customised waste management plans, with supplementary revenue from environmental monitoring equipment hire, recurring general-waste bin services, and contract-specific emergency response retainers.

The business model is differentiated by regulatory exclusivity (DMIRS AER001042, DWER Controlled Waste License, Dangerous Goods Site License, ISO 9001/14001/45001), combined with a Supply Nation Certified Indigenous business status that satisfies supplier-diversity procurement mandates for government and corporate buyers. Channel strategy is direct-to-client with no channel resale, complemented by community partnerships (Boronia Pre-Release Centre for Women, Laing O'Rourke) and a sister-company relationship with Thuroona Services that bundles asbestos and demolition services. The July 2025 acquisition of Perth-based Network Waste & Recycling — the company's first M&A — signals the start of a buy-and-build consolidation play in regional waste brokerage.

Direct peers

• ResourceCo: Australian waste-to-resource company focused on hazardous and hard-to-handle waste streams including solvents, hydrocarbons, sludges, and contaminated materials. Compares to HazRad's hydrocarbon recovery, intractable waste, and waste-to-alternative-fuel capabilities for industrial clients.
• REMONDIS Australia: Australian arm of German-headquartered REMONDIS, providing hazardous and industrial waste collection, treatment, and disposal with regional licensed facilities. Closely comparable to HazRad's regulated waste handling, dangerous goods transport, and Prescribed Premises operations in WA and east coast markets.
• Toxfree Solutions (Cleanaway Hazardous Waste): Toxfree was Australia's leading hazardous waste specialist before being acquired by Cleanaway; its services remain operational within Cleanaway. Direct overlap with HazRad across PFAS, intractable waste, clinical waste, dangerous goods, and emergency response; serves as the closest like-for-like comparison on hazardous scope.

Regional players

• K&S Corporation: ASX-listed logistics and waste services provider with hazardous and dangerous goods transport capabilities across Australia. Comparable to HazRad's bulk liquid waste, dangerous goods, and freight operations, though K&S's focus leans toward transport rather than treatment/disposal.
• Solo Resource Recovery: Privately held Australian waste management and resource recovery operator serving commercial, industrial, and government customers with liquid waste, grease trap, and industrial cleaning capabilities. Comparable to HazRad's bulk liquid waste, grease trap, and industrial cleaning services for hospitality and industrial segments.
• JJ Richards & Sons: Family-owned Australian waste management company operating hazardous and industrial waste collections, liquid waste, and recycling services nationally. Closely comparable business model to HazRad's general waste, recycling, grease trap and bulk liquid offerings, predominantly serving commercial/industrial customers.

Broad incumbents

• Bingo Industries: ASX-listed (now privately held after Macquarie acquisition) major Australian waste and recycling operator with network of transfer stations and resource recovery facilities. Overlaps HazRad's general waste, recycling, and bulk bin services, though Bingo's focus is municipal/construction solid waste rather than hazardous.
• Cleanaway Waste Management: ASX-listed Australia's largest waste management company operating collections, treatment, and disposal across hazardous, industrial, and municipal waste streams. Directly comparable to HazRad's hazardous waste portfolio, including its former Toxfree hazardous waste arm, but at much larger scale with broader service mix.
• Suez Recycling and Recovery Australia: Suez (now part of Veolia group) operates resource recovery and hazardous waste services in Australia including liquid waste treatment and dangerous goods handling. Comparable to HazRad's bulk liquid waste, PFAS, and controlled waste offering, though at smaller Australian footprint than Veolia outright.
• Veolia Australia and New Zealand: Global environmental services operator with substantial hazardous waste treatment, industrial services, and resource recovery operations across Australia. Overlaps HazRad's licensed treatment facilities, dangerous goods handling, and industrial cleaning offerings, but serves a much wider portfolio of customers and waste types.
