We maintain that the transition from a traditional linear “take-make-waste” economy to a circular “reduce-reuse-recycle” (3R) economy requires all industries and communities to play a role. A fundamental requirement to achieve this transition is the development of smarter technology-based waste collection, reduction, reuse and recovery solutions that ‘close the loop’ in minimizing the creation of waste, pollution, and carbon emissions.
We support clients facing substantial up-front costs to deploy the latest innovative water, wastewater, and waste processing and resource recovery technologies through capital-to-operating expenditure conversion.
Leveraging our balance sheet alongside a diverse set of global funding providers, together with Macquarie’s trading and risk management products, we enable our clients to accelerate their adoption of emerging technologies while limiting commodity price and offtake volatility.

Supporting the transition to smarter waste reduction and recovery technologies such as electrochemical treatment vessels, electrode power connectors and desalination units
We understand that a more customised end-to-end financing and asset management solution is required to realise and capture the value that the circular economy presents to early movers.
We look beyond providing clients with traditional debt financing options and focus solely on achieving our clients’ goals of:
