In an era where sustainability is no longer a nice-to-have but a business imperative, managing waste efficiently has become critical — especially for manufacturers and retailers in the furniture sector. Enter Simplex Waste Solutions, the Australian-owned company pioneering a smarter, more sustainable approach to waste management for businesses across the nation. The Australian Furniture Association recognises the ‘Simplex Difference’. Most companies unknowingly overspend on waste because their systems are fragmented, outdated, and poorly measured. Simplex Waste Solutions changes that with a national model built on clarity, efficiency, and environmental accountability.
Simplex doesn’t just haul rubbish — it redefines how organisations think about waste. By leveraging a national network of trusted service providers and real-time data analytics, they help businesses:
- Reduce waste costs by up to 40%
- Cut landfill volumes by 70%
- Align waste strategies with Net Zero goals
This isn’t just theory. Major brands like Campari have already seen dramatic results by partnering with Simplex — slashing waste bills, consolidating vendors, and boosting staff engagement in sustainability practices.
A Smarter, Simpler System
At the heart of Simplex’s method is a practical three-step framework:
- Assess – Understand what waste is being generated, where it goes, and what it costs.
- Execute – Optimise bin placements, consolidate vendors, and train teams with clear signage and processes.
- Advance – Track results, introduce new waste streams like e-waste or soft plastics, and refine over time.
This approach is backed by a suite of ready-to-use tools — from waste audit checklists to monthly reporting dashboards — that put control back in the hands of facilities and operations teams.
Built for Flexibility, Driven by Results
Unlike traditional waste providers, Simplex negotiates directly with service vendors to secure the best rates and tailor solutions to each client’s unique needs. With trucks already on the road across Australia, their model minimises transport costs and carbon emissions while eliminating redundant pickups.
Whether it’s food organics, timber, liquid waste or hard-to-recycle materials, Simplex delivers a true “one-stop-shop” solution. They also provide one transparent, itemised invoice — streamlining administration for busy procurement teams.
Sustainability with Substance
Simplex’s business model puts sustainability at its core. Their Strategic Sustainability Plans are custom-built to meet project targets and ESG commitments. High-quality recyclables are directed to approved processing facilities, ensuring valuable materials are reused rather than discarded.
Ongoing monthly reporting ensures total visibility — tracking waste volumes, diversion rates, and recovery metrics. It’s not just compliance; it’s a roadmap to meaningful environmental impact.
