Biosecurity Waste Management

As a Biosecurity Industry Participant, Corio Waste Management, holds Approved Arrangements (AA) with the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry.

This allows us to deliver end-to-end, fully compliant Biosecurity waste solutions. We ensure that all Biosecurity waste is handled, transported, treated and/or disposed of securely and lawfully in accordance with our Approved Arrangements.

What is Biosecurity Waste?

This can include waste from international vessels and aircraft, imported goods that fail inspection, or any material exposed to biosecurity risks during transport.

Examples include:

Food waste from international ships and aircraft
Contaminated packaging and stabilising materials
Seized goods or items refused entry into Australia
Animal and plant products, laboratory waste, or healthcare materials
Cleaning by-products from biosecurity treatment processes

Biosecurity waste must be kept separate from general waste streams to avoid cross-contamination, as incidental contact may require full hazardous disposal protocols.
