Registrations open for AORA Conference and Demonstration Day

The Australian Organics Recycling Association (AORA) 2025 Annual Conference will be held from 3-5 June in Newcastle, New South Wales, at the Newcastle Exhibition and Convention Centre (NEX).

As with the previous AORA conferences, the first day of the event will be the Demonstration Day, to be held at Summerhill Waste Management Centre.

John McKew National Executive Officer for AORA, said the Demonstration Day, sponsored by Skala Environmental, is a unique opportunity to experience cutting-edge equipment and machinery in action, demonstrating the latest advancements in organic recycling.

“There is nothing else like this in the country,” said McKew.

“You might see these machines stationary at other events but to see them in action enables attendees to compare different models and understand how each piece of machinery can enhance their operations, in situ.

“This is a great opportunity to see, touch and ask about your next capital investment in organic recycling equipment and talk to your peers and experts about their experiences with the machinery.”

McKew said the AORA Demonstration Day is a wonderful entrée to the conference and gets everybody excited.

“The day is an excellent opportunity for everyone in the industry, whether they are a composter, consultant, academic or packaging manufacturer to see the machines in action, understand how they work, see the finished products and garner further insight of the composting industry,” he said.

Simon Humphris, AORA Director, collated the 20 machines to be on display at the conference.

“Everything will be there for you to see including screens, grinders, loaders, turners, shredders, and a few innovative machines that potentially offer something different to our industry,” said Humphris.

“Every Demonstration Day we aim to provide a wide range of machinery options that our composters use every day to look at and see in action.”

Registrations are now open.
