As Australia works toward doubling its circularity by 2035, three international technology leaders exhibiting at ReGen Expo 2025 are proving that scalable solutions for resource recovery are already here and ready for national adoption.
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Australia’s circularity rate currently sits at just 4.4%, well below the global average of 7.2%. It’s a signal that, despite growing awareness and policy support, the infrastructure and innovation required to close the loop remains underdeveloped. With the average material footprint per person at 31.0 tonnes in 2023, the lowest since 2010, there is growing urgency to accelerate solutions that reduce waste and maximise the value of existing resources.
That’s where ReGen, Australia’s leading circular resource expo, comes in. Set to take place this July at Sydney’s ICC, ReGen will highlight some of the companies and technologies working on how Australia processes, recovers, and reintegrates materials. Among them: Steinert Australia, Eldan Recycling, and BMH Technology, three global innovators leading in resource recovery.
Smarter Sorting with Steinert Australia
With over 130 years of experience in separation technology, Steinert Australia is leading with their advanced magnetic and sensor-based sorting systems that maximise recovery of valuable materials from waste streams. From construction and demolition to e-waste and metal recovery, their large-scale recovery solutions are helping industries separate more, send less to landfill, and improve material purity. As Australia faces increasing pressure to hit waste diversion targets, Steinert’s systems offer a powerful way to scale circularity across multiple industries.
Turning Waste into Value with Eldan Recycling
For over 60 years, Eldan Recycling has led the global market in processing equipment for tyre, cable, WEEE, and aluminium recycling. Their modular recycling systems are helping to tackle some of the most challenging waste streams, transforming end-of-life tyres into reusable rubber granules or reclaiming copper and aluminium from mixed cables. As the volume of complex waste continues to grow in Australia, Eldan’s technology presents an opportunity to not only recover resources but also create new revenue streams from materials once considered un-recyclable.
Circular Fuels from Non-Recyclables Thanks to BMH Technology
Addressing the gap between residual waste and landfill diversion, BMH Technology is turning non-recyclable waste into Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) for use in industrial
energy generation. Their waste-to-fuel systems are designed to reduce landfill dependency, lower carbon emissions, and create consistent, high-calorific fuel from otherwise untapped materials. With Australia still sending significant quantities of residual waste to landfill, BMH’s technology could be a key enabler in the nation’s shift towards a more circular economy.
ReGen Expo: A National Platform for Circular Innovation
ReGen Expo 2025 provides a leading platform for industry, government, and innovators to connect and fast-track Australia’s transition to a circular economy. With resource recovery solutions like those from Steinert, Eldan, and BMH on full display, the event will spotlight real-world technologies capable of moving Australia closer to its circularity goals.
The event will take place 23–24 July 2025 at ICC Sydney, with a full speaker series, exhibitor showcase, and Innovation Pitch Fest included in the free visitor program. Register free today.
