Equipment and Solutions for the Circular Economy

Hard Recycle is an Australian-owned and operated company, working across Australia and New Zealand to supply engineered equipment and turnkey systems for waste processing, environmental control and industrial materials handling. We focus on delivering robust, proven technologies that meet operational demands and comply with local standards.

We partner exclusively with leading European manufacturers to provide high-performance solutions in three core areas. In recycling, we supply complete systems for plastics, metals, WEEE, RDF, organics, PV panels, batteries and fridges, covering every stage from pre-shredding and granulation through to washing, dewatering, conveying and separation. In air filtration, we deliver dry and wet extraction systems including baghouses, cartridge filters, cyclones, fans, silencers and ATEX-compliant options, designed to control dust, odour and fine particulates from industrial processes. In material handling, we provide bulk storage, dosing, conveying and feeding systems for powders, granules, biomass and other difficult materials.

We represent established global OEMs with strong engineering pedigrees, including TECNOFER, ITR Recycling Systems, OMAR, Silmisa Maquinaria, MLS Makina, Zemmler Siebanlagen, AZO, Wagner Shredders, ARP and Lanner. This collective enables us to deliver integrated systems tailored to each project, whether it is a plastics washing line, a biomass shredding and conveying setup, metals separation, an RDF pre-processing station or a factory-wide dust and odour control system. All components are designed to work together, comply with AU/NZ requirements and can be configured to match throughput, footprint, energy use and environmental targets.

At Hard Recycle we manage the full project lifecycle, from design and layout through to supply, installation, commissioning and ongoing support. We act as both technical integrator and local partner, ensuring European-built systems are adapted to local conditions and supported long-term. Every solution is grounded in practical engineering, with a focus on uptime, compliance and lifecycle efficiency.

By working with Hard Recycle, clients gain access to globally proven equipment, delivered, engineered and supported locally by a team that understands process requirements and industry standards.
