STRATEGY
Tellus’ strategy is to deliver superior shareholder returns by developing, owning and operating a portfolio of long-life, low-cost, expandable, geological repositories and circular economy parks across Australia by offering hazardous waste long term storage, treatment, recycling, recovery and permanent isolation services and associated commodity by-products to our commercial, industrial and government clients.
Our goal is to ensure that Tellus’ geological repositories will
- consist of sites that meet international best practice site selection criteria
- be geographically spread across Australia
- be diversified by type (near surface repository in clay and deep repository in salt)
- have broad and varying waste acceptance licences (hazardous and/or exempt/ low-level radioactive waste)
- handle a variety of waste types
We believe that waste is a valuable resource and we should find ways for it to re-enter the circular economy or be stored safely until it can.
Tellus aims to deliver superior shareholder returns across four distinct stages that will each service unique target markets and jurisdictions. Tellus is developing the Sandy Ridge project first, the Chandler facility and other proposed projects will follow.
Tellus’ business model mirrors world’s best practice solutions operating in the UK, Europe, USA and Canada.
Tellus strategy is underpinned by a balanced scorecard approach – with focus on financial, customer, internal business processes, learning and growth perspectives.
