Australia’s Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) will provide $75m in debt finance for Rino Recycling’s $89m Pinkenba recycling centre in Brisbane. The centre will process more than 1 million tonnes annually of concrete, excavation and skip bin waste, and reduce Queensland’s carbon footprint ahead of the 2032 Olympics and other construction projects.
