Recycling Reinvented: Corplex Builds a Future-Ready Facility
Corplex is proud to have delivered a purpose-built industrial facility in Truganina for our client, Australian Paper Recovery, supporting their continued growth in paper recycling and resource recovery. Designed specifically for high-volume, heavy-duty operations, the development provides the infrastructure required to efficiently process, store and move large quantities of recyclable material while maintaining safety, compliance and operational continuity.
Australian Paper Recovery plays a critical role in diverting waste from landfill by collecting, sorting and processing paper and cardboard for reuse within the circular economy. This new facility has been designed to strengthen that mission, giving the business the capacity, durability and layout needed to handle intensive daily throughput while positioning them for future expansion as demand for sustainable recycling solutions continues to grow.

Sustainability in Action: New Industrial Hub for Australian Paper Recovery
Spanning a substantial 16,000m² site, the development includes a carefully considered mix of warehouse, office and hardstand infrastructure to support seamless operational flow. The primary 4,000m² warehouse, anchored by a 400m² two-storey office, brings processing and administration together under one roof, improving communication, oversight and efficiency across the operation. The heavily reinforced 200mm concrete slabs allow for constant use by heavy plant and machinery, while the advanced fire sprinkler system, dedicated loading dock and 600-amp power supply ensure the facility can safely support energy-intensive processing equipment.
To the rear of the site, a secondary 2,000m² warehouse increases storage capacity and operational flexibility, allowing Australian Paper Recovery to separate processes, manage peak volumes and adapt workflows as required. Externally, more than 6,000m² of reinforced concrete hardstand supports heavy vehicle movements, container handling and material stockpiling, while the integrated truck weighbridge enables accurate logistics tracking, compliance reporting and streamlined inbound and outbound movements. Additional hardstand and crushed rock pavement further enhance circulation and durability across the site.
Turning Waste into Worth: A Cutting-Edge Recycling Centre
Through close collaboration with Australian Paper Recovery, Corplex delivered a facility that responds directly to the demands of the recycling industry. The result is a resilient, high-performance environment that improves operational efficiency, supports sustainable practices and provides a strong platform for long-term growth in one of Australia’s most essential resource recovery sectors.
