Market definition
The acquisition was considered in the context of:

- Perth regional market for the supply of waste recycling facilities
- WA markets for the supply of:
- recycled glass;
- recycled paper;
- recycled cardboard;

Competition analysis
The ACCC formed the view that the acquisition was unlikely to substantially lessen competition in the relevant markets due to a number of actual and potential competitors who would be likely to constrain the merged firm.
