We are the Australian arm of JET — a Japanese technology company with over 20 years of experience and offices across Melbourne, Tokyo, and Shanghai. Our multi-cultural, multi-lingual team is focused on one mission: turning organic waste into value.
JET (Japan Environmental Technology) was founded in Japan to solve one of the world's fastest-growing problems: organic waste. Our headquarters in Tokyo developed the Environmental Recycling System (ERS) — a patented, microbe-based vacuum fermentation process that converts organic waste into useful resources in just three hours.
After more than 20 years of successful commercial deployments across Japan, China, and broader Asia, we brought ERS technology to Australia — a country generating millions of tonnes of organic waste every year with rapidly growing demand for sustainable solutions.
JET Australia is focused on partnering with food processors, agricultural operators, local governments, and research institutions to verify, adapt, and deploy ERS technology for Australian conditions and feedstocks.
Proven in Japan. Validated in Australia.
Processing various types of organic waste — from food production residuals and agriculture through to FOGO — using our patented microbe-based ERS fermentation system.
Recovering animal feed, fertiliser, or biomass fuel from processed organic waste — depending on waste type and your business case.
Separating organic resources from inorganic materials such as plastic food packaging using trommel and sieving systems, enabling clean output streams and packaging recycling.
Converting ERS-processed biomass fuel to heat using a co-developed biomass boiler — enabling a closed-loop WTE (Waste to Energy) approach.

We believe waste is simply misplaced value — and that every organic waste stream is an opportunity to create resources, reduce emissions, and build a circular economy.
To eliminate organic waste from Australian landfills and incinerators by transforming it into high-value products — at scale, with zero secondary pollution, and measurable carbon benefit.
A future where Australian businesses and municipalities see organic waste not as a cost to manage, but as a feedstock to be recovered — creating new revenue streams and reducing environmental impact simultaneously.
Every aspect of ERS technology is underpinned by peer-reviewed science. Our patented microbes were formally deposited with Japan's National Institute of Technology and Evaluation (NITE) — a world first for symbiotic microbes.
We don't sell equipment and walk away. JET Australia designs each ERS solution to your specific waste type, volume, and output goals — and provides ongoing technical support.
Everything that enters our systems has a purpose when it leaves. Animal feed, fertiliser, biomass fuel — all created without contamination, ready for immediate use in Australian supply chains.
Through our Deakin University partnership, we are rigorously measuring and publishing the greenhouse gas reduction outcomes of ERS technology on Australian feedstocks — so our clients can report verified environmental benefits.
JET's R&D team in Tokyo develops and patents the Environmental Recycling System, including the three symbiotic microbes registered at IPOD — a world first. ERS enters commercial deployment in Japan's food and agriculture sectors.
ERS technology is deployed across multiple Asian countries, processing diverse organic waste types including high-water-content food processing residuals, livestock waste, and municipal organic fractions.
JET Technology Corporation Australia is founded in Melbourne, led by Managing Director Howard Ju, to bring ERS technology to the Australian market and adapt it for local waste streams and regulatory frameworks.
A four-year research collaboration is established with Deakin University's REACH Hub at Waurn Ponds. The BioFactory project focuses on converting apple pomace and Australian agricultural waste into bioproducts, with rigorous scientific measurement of GHG outcomes.
JET Australia actively pursues partnerships with food processors, agricultural operators, and local councils across Victoria and beyond, deploying ERS units and expanding the evidence base for ERS technology in Australian conditions.
Our team brings together deep expertise in environmental engineering, Japanese technology transfer, and Australian industry networks.
