Brooklyn Recycling Group (BRG), comprising Delta Group, ResourceCo, EcoGypsum & Fertiliser (Sunshine Groupe), and City Circle, has announced it has received approval from the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) to enter year two of the state’s first environmental improvement plan.
The ‘better environment plan ’(BEP) aims to provide a strong framework for cleaner air, enhanced local amenity, and improved collaboration between industry, community, and government.
BRG said that over the past year, BRG businesses have demonstrated a shared commitment to reducing dust, upgrading site operations, and supporting a more resilient circular economy through responsible resource recovery.
In its second year of the program BRG said it will deploy an integrated dust monitoring and response system across all sites, launch a large-scale vegetation planting project to act as natural windbreaks, and advocate for improved road maintenance to minimise dust from traffic.
According to BRG, the EPA acknowledged the group’s achievements outlined in its ‘year one’ report and provided feedback, including the need for clearer and more measurable key performance indicators, stronger alignment between goals, and ongoing community communication.
Speaking on behalf of BRG members, EcoGypsum’s Christian Buxton said the EPA’s approval for year two reflects confidence in BRG’s commitment to environmental improvement and transparency.
“Our members remain committed to delivering practical, measurable improvements that benefit both the local community and the environment,” Mr Buxton said.
