The more recycling we do the better for everyone.

While innovative transport equipment manufacturers SFM Engineering has recycled steel for more than 20 years, over the last 12 months the company has explored new recycling options at their Bellevue factory.

Steel is our main waste product and we have a bin collected each week," said Frank Camporeale, Purchasing Officer.

Four tonnes of steel is collected from SFM Engineering every fortnight.

"Our steel off-cuts are either recycled or bought by the steel merchants. It makes environmental and economic sense."

SFM Engineering has also recently improved its waste oil collection practices and taken part in a trial with Swan Catchment Council to provide a cardboard collection point for surrounding Bellevue industrial companies.

"We’ve always known the value. The more recycling, the better its going to be for everyone."
