The Burdekin RegenAqua facility, located in North Queensland, is the world’s first large-scale wastewater treatment plant to harness native freshwater macroalgae to naturally remove excess nutrients.

Designed as a fully circular, chemical-free solution, RegenAqua improves water quality flowing to the Great Barrier Reef while producing valuable biomass for sustainable agriculture and bioenergy. This groundbreaking facility showcases how nature-based technologies can transform wastewater into an asset, supporting environmental regeneration locally and offering scalable solutions globally.

Burdekin is a proud demonstration of how regional innovation can address urgent global challenges in water, energy, and climate resilience.

Pacific Bio is an Australian innovation company pioneering the use of native macroalgae for regenerative environmental solutions.

Through our flagship technology, RegenAqua, we provide nature-based wastewater treatment that is carbon-neutral, low-cost, and fully circular. Our work helps industries and communities meet critical water quality goals while generating sustainable products for agriculture and bioenergy.
