Breen team attend ReGen 2025
The Breen Resources team recently attended ReGen 2025 at ICC Sydney, Australia’s largest circular economy and waste management conference.
ReGen 2025 brought together Australia’s leading waste management companies, circular economy innovators, and sustainability experts for two days of critical industry discussions. Our CEO Damien Vella was invited to speak on the “Infrastructure Crisis” panel, addressing Sydney’s urgent waste management capacity challenges alongside industry leaders.
The conference highlighted that Sydney’s waste management infrastructure is facing a capacity crisis. With recycling rates plateaued at 65% and limited landfill space, the need for innovative resource recovery solutions has never been more urgent. This aligns perfectly with Breen Resources’ transformation from traditional waste disposal to advanced construction waste recycling operations.
Industry presentations consistently showed that waste-to-resource recovery isn’t just environmentally responsible—it’s profitable. Companies implementing circular economy strategies are outperforming traditional waste management businesses. Breen Resources’ processing of 450,000+ tonnes annually demonstrates this principle in action.
Multiple speakers emphasised that partnerships between waste management companies, construction firms, and government agencies are crucial for addressing Australia’s resource recovery challenges. This reinforced our strategic approach to building relationships with major infrastructure projects.
The ReGen expo floor provided valuable networking opportunities for our team to connect with:
- Construction waste generators
- Recycling technology providers
- Environmental consultants
- Government policy makers
- Circular economy advocates
These connections directly support our mission to expand sustainable waste management solutions across Sydney and beyond.
The event featured cutting-edge recycling technologies and resource recovery innovations. Exhibitors demonstrated new approaches to:
- Construction and demolition waste processing
- Contaminated soil remediation
- Aggregate recycling methods
- Waste tracking and compliance systems
Sustainability Reporting and ESG Compliance: A significant focus at ReGen 2025 was the growing importance of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting for construction companies. This trend validates Breen Resources’ emphasis on providing measurable sustainability outcomes for our clients.
ReGen 2025 confirmed that the waste management industry is undergoing rapid transformation. Companies that embrace circular economy principles, invest in processing infrastructure, and build strategic partnerships will lead Australia’s sustainable future.
