Susan McBurney

Chief Executive Officer
"Our name is new, but our experience isn't. We've done this work, under different names, for close to thirty years. What's new is the scale at which we can now do it — and the standard we hold ourselves to in doing it."

Expertise

Susie McBurney is Chief Executive Officer of Evoro Group, bringing 25 years in waste management — including senior roles at two of the sector’s largest operators — to the task of building Australia’s most capable liquid and hazardous waste group. She leads a business formed from four established companies, Cleanway, Global Resource Recovery, EnviroChoice and Lee’s Environmental Services, with the national infrastructure of a major operator and the responsiveness of a specialist.

Her focus is on the part of the national waste task that is hardest to solve: the complex, high-risk streams the broader market isn’t equipped to handle, and the recovery infrastructure needed to divert them from landfill. Under her leadership, Evoro Group operates EPA-licensed facilities across four states, an in-house team of chemists and chemical engineers, and a recovery-first model anchored by the group’s flagship Laverton facility — the only operating site in Australia capable of recovering reusable product from waste glycol. It is work measured not in promises, but in tonnes treated, litres recovered and obligations met.
