About Brooklyn Recycling Group

---

The Brooklyn Recycling Group (BRG) is a key part of the Victorian Government’s Circular Economy strategy. 

Four businesses operating in the Brooklyn industrial precinct within the vicinity of Bunting Road, Brooklyn – Gypsum & Fertilizer (Sunshine Groupe), Delta Group, City Circle and ResourceCo – are collectively known as the Brooklyn Recycling Group (BRG).

In July 2024 the BRG members signed the state’s first Better Environment Plan with EPA Victoria. 

BRG members currently recycle more than half of Victoria’s Construction & Demolition (C&D) waste, which includes concrete, brick, rock, masonry, timber, and soil. One hundred percent of this C&D waste is recycled and reused locally in Victoria. 

The major output from the BRG is recycled aggregates for road and civil works construction. In the past two years the amount of material recovered from processing has increased by 25%. Over 60% of all recycling in Victoria is processed by C & D Recyclers. 

BRG’s members are located in the Brooklyn industrial precinct, a kilometre north of the West Gate Freeway, a short drive from the CBD and surrounding suburbs  

This proximity to their main suppliers and customers has enabled BRG to play a key role in recycling of Melbourne’s C&D waste, and hence the economic viability of Victoria. The BRG has a track-record of investing in technology and solutions that improve outcomes, none the least being reduced particulate matter (PM) emissions.
