Cleanaway Waste Management Limited is Australia’s largest total waste management solutions company, employing over 5,500 people across Australia. The company services customers ranging from small businesses to large multi-national commercial and industrial organisations across a range of different industries.

Cleanaway operates nearly 4,000 trucks from more than 250 branches nationwide,[4] as well as a range of resource recovery and post collection assets across the country. This network of assets allows Cleanaway to offer over 300 products and services across the entire waste spectrum from collections to recycling to safe disposal.

History

Brambles Industries Limited first began its expansion into the waste management and disposal industry in 1970.[5] However, it wasn’t until 1979 that the Cleanaway name was first registered.[6] Cleanaway continued to expand over the years through a combination of organic growth and acquisitions.

Rebranding

Cleanaway was acquired by Transpacific Industries in 2007.[7] Transpacific Industries was formed in 1987, expanding through organic growth and strategic growth. The combined entity would continue to trade separately as Transpacific Industries (TPI) and Cleanaway for ten years.

In 2015, the company announced its intention to rebrand to Cleanaway Waste Management Ltd in September 2015. The move was approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on October 30, 2015. According to Cleanaway CEO Vik Bansal, the change of name," [8] will support removal of duplication of the group's organisation and operating structure and will assist in reducing and realigning our cost base."

On 18 May 2017, Vik Bansal unveiled Footprint 2025,[9] Cleanaway’s plans to upgrade and improve their current infrastructure and systems to deal sustainably with Australia’s growing waste demands, with a primary focus on resource recovery.

Toxfree acquisition

Cleanaway announced it was acquiring Tox Free Solutions Limited,[10] including its subsidiary Daniels Health, on 11 December 2017, subject to regulatory approval. This was granted by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission on April 26,[11] followed by the Australian Federal Court on May 10, 2018.[12] The acquisition was completed on May 25, 2018. The occasion was marked by visits from Cleanaway's senior management to all Toxfree and Daniels Health sites across Australia.

Products and services

Cleanaway offers a wide variety of waste management services, including:

In addition, Cleanaway also manages several landfills, waste transfer stations and material recovery facilities throughout Australia, turning the received waste into energy and other materials.[13]
