Founded in 1993 by brothers Neil and Paul Bone, Wastech Engineering has grown into an award-winning Australian design, engineering and manufacturing company at the forefront of waste management and resource recovery. From our Hallam, Victoria headquarters—still our main manufacturing site—we now employ over 100 people and deliver end-to-end services across Australia with a growing presence in New Zealand.

We design and build advanced equipment to compact, crush, sort and de-package solid waste and recyclables. Our extensive product range and full service offering support businesses of all sizes, as well as local, state and federal governments, with technology-enabled solutions that improve efficiency and resource recovery. For more than 30 years we have invested in research and development, best-practice design and high-quality materials. Our lean manufacturing model reduces material use and waste, and our 85 kW solar array powers fabrication to further lower environmental impact, allowing us to pass savings on to customers while helping the planet.

Dedicated engineering and service teams work closely with every customer from commissioning through to operation, ensuring equipment is fully optimised and supported. We are proud of our local manufacturing capability and the skilled Australian jobs it sustains, and we back every installation with on-time delivery, 24/7 service and dependable support.

Driving a circular economy is central to our mission. Our machines process recyclable materials with advanced, efficient technology, creating commodities that compete with virgin resources and helping industry reduce waste and protect the environment.

To reinforce our long-term growth and innovation, Wastech partnered in 2019 with Armitage Associates, a Melbourne-based growth equity firm that supports leading Australian family businesses.
