DEMOLITION &
DECONSTRUCTION
SERVICES

Phoenix established its demolition service in 2014 as clients increasingly asked us to deconstruct the metals at their sites. Through our deconstruction service, we’re able to collect materials directly from the source and ensure a complete end-to-end recycling process.

With the introduction of these services, we can now recycle so much more and find local circular economy solutions for many materials. In FY23, we recycled 19,940 metric tonnes of recyclables from our demolition sites.
