The power
of pulp

Last year, we discovered the PulpMaster

An exciting new form of technology that transforms organic waste into a slurry that can be used for soil injection or converted to green energy and nutrient-rich fertiliser. This clever compact unit was trialed with Harris Farm at our Broadway Shopping Centre in NSW, where it proved a huge success. Twelve months on, the unit is still going great, producing 20-25 tonnes of waste a month.

In light of this initial success, we’ve spent the past year rolling out the PulpMaster at other sites, including Cherrybrook, Rhodes, Harbourside and Westpac Place. Throughout the process, we've worked closely with the PulpMaster team to help tenants make the transition to using the units.

The PulpMaster team has also helped us overcome several ‘teething problems’–such as contamination and damage caused by cutlery accidentally put through the unit by restaurant tenants. In the latter case, a magnetic cutlery catcher was devised and installed, preventing wayward forks and knives being caught up in the machinery (and enabling us to return these items to a very grateful tenant!).

While we’ve learned they are not necessarily suitable for all locations, the five PulpMasters installed so far are still proving extremely effective when used as intended–and we plan to continue rolling out the technology at appropriate locations across the country.
