Our History
WestRex was conceived in 2012 by foundation directors Mark Scott and Gregg Chapple, with construction of our flagship waste processing, treatment and resource recovery facility in Jackson QLD completed in March 2013. The original purpose of our Jackson facility was to provide the Coal Seam Gas (CSG) industry with a licensed waste processing facility in the heart of the Surat Basin, capable of treating and processing effluent from the CSG camps.
The first load of effluent waste for processing at our Jackson facility arrived in April 2013 and since then WestRex has grown into one of Queensland’s leading hazardous waste management companies, with additional waste facilities now located in Wacol and Injune QLD. Our facilities are licensed to accept a diverse range of regulated and hazardous wastes, with a focus on maximising recovery of reusable resources from these various waste streams and minimising the volumes being disposed to landfill.
In addition to our hazardous waste processing and resource recovery business, WestRex launched a contaminated site remediation division in March 2019, thereby adding a new range of on-site remediation capabilities to our range of existing services.
