During the 2020–21 financial year, Australia produced approximately 75.8 million tonnes (Mt) of waste.

This total included 25.2 Mt from construction and demolition, 14.4 Mt of organic materials, 12.0 Mt of ash, 7.4 Mt of hazardous waste (predominantly contaminated soil), 5.8 Mt of paper and cardboard, 5.7 Mt of metals, and 2.6 Mt of plastics. On a per capita basis, this equates to 2.95 tonnes per person.

PARTNERSHIP WITH MASDAR

In 2019 Masdar and Tribe formed an Abu Dhabi based joint venture known as Masdar Tribe Energy for their joint investment in the East Rockingham Waste to Energy Project.

Masdar and Tribe furthered their commitment to developing the Waste to Energy business in Australia through the establishment of a new Australian joint venture – Masdar Tribe Australia – which is focused on  greenfield Waste to Energy development activities in Australia.

Masdar Tribe Australia is staffed with Tribe’s experienced Waste to Energy development team which has access to the specialist resources of its shareholders Masdar and Tribe.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT CAPABILITY

Masdar and Tribe’s combined project development capability is comprised of a core development team, supported by specialist dedicated and as-required resources of its shareholders. This team collaborates with Masdar’s and Tribe’s partners – to in turn work with a myriad of project stakeholders to achieve commercial outcomes consistent with the objectives of each of the project’s co-developers/investors.
