About

Global fertiliser production remains fundamentally linear — reliant on finite inputs, exposed to volatile energy markets, and dependent on long-distance supply chains.

Australia is no exception.

Following the closure of domestic capacity, Australia now imports ALL of its urea requirements, increasing exposure to global price shocks and supply disruption.

At the same time, large volumes of industrial and societal carbon-based materials continue to be generated — largely underutilised or sent to landfill.

These are not separate challenges.

They are two sides of the same structural disconnect. Australia discards carbon that can be commercially recovered, yet imports carbon-intensive fetiliser that could be produced domestically.

A circular economic model doesn’t just address both issues – it reframes them as a single integrated opportunity.

Australian Fertilizer Corporation exists to address this structural imbalance.
