Kanadevia Inova is advancing Australia’s circular-economy ambitions through sustainable waste management, providing solutions powered by market-leading waste-to-energy and renewable-gas technologies.
Jason Pugh, managing director and country president for Australia, said value is created by treating residual waste after recyclable materials have been recovered. Australia put more than 26 million metric tons of waste in landfills in the 2022-23 business year, with state policies promoting landfill diversion and best-available technology standards.
“At Kanadevia Inova, we see waste as a resource and waste-to-energy as a critical component of an integrated circular economic model for waste management, a philosophy we share with Japan,” Pugh said.
Managing waste in a responsible and sustainable way is critical to preserving the character and natural beauty of Australia.
Kanadevia Corp., its Japanese parent company, has an ethos to take on the challenge through the power of technology to create a world that lives in balance with nature. Osmoflo, Kanadevia’s Australian sister company, also embodies this ethos by using technology and innovation to deliver water and wastewater solutions.

Kanadevia brings a business culture grounded in technology, transparency and long-term responsibility. In Australia, those principles matter because waste-to-energy projects depend on public confidence as much as engineering capability.
“The community is the No. 1 stakeholder in any waste-to-energy project and trust is built by communicating with honesty and sincerity and by having an unwavering commitment to quality, compliance and safety,” Pugh said.
Australia’s environmental infrastructure needs align with Japan’s strength in large projects, stable contracts and patient capital.
“Partnerships are a core feature of Japanese-Australian investment and are required to underpin long-term investment pathways. Kanadevia Inova represents an ideal partner for Japanese investors by offering a local Australian partner with a deep understanding of the Japanese investment culture.”
