WA’s Recycled Glass Processor
About us
Glass Recycling plants
Waglass was created in 2019 to process glass from the WA Container Deposit Scheme.
Based in Bassendean, the site accepts all CDS glass from collection sites across WA. Our processing equipment includes automatic color sorters, Eddy Currents, dryers, crushers, and trommels, all centrally controlled and monitored. The plant operates 24 hours a day, 6 or 7 days a week depending on volumes received and employs 14 people.
In collaboration with Westbin, we collect all glass from the Perth and Wheatbelt areas participating in the CDS scheme.
Waglass also processes bottle glass from other sources in WA, as well as plate glass and windscreens from WA sources
Container Deposit Scheme
Bottle glass
Our facility efficiently handles all glass collected from WA's numerous collection points, color sorting and processing it for supply to Orora for direct feed into their SA furnaces, where new bottles are made from the recycled material.

In addition to our primary role in processing CDS glass, Waglass also processes plate glass. After crushing, removing laminate, and thorough cleaning, we supply this glass to clients such as CSR and Orora, supporting the production of bottles and fiberglass insulation.
As a final step in our process, certain types of glass undergo drying, crushing, and screening, producing finely sized closely graded particles. These products find applications in various industries including filtration, sandblasting, and coating applications, contributing to the sustainable utilization of resources and meeting diverse market needs.
