Eco Resource Recovery (ECORR)

Experiencing significant business growth since taking over the processing and operation of products themselves in 2021, ECORR have plans for further expansion with a strong pipeline of projects over the coming years. Past infrastructure projects have been on a Federal, state and local government level, along with environmental and rehabilitation projects across New South Wales.

ECORR’s performance in the recycling industry is heavily reliant on productive, efficient and robust machinery for the quick loading, screening and crushing of waste materials. ECORR have chosen Hitachi Construction Machinery (Australia) Pty Ltd (HCA) as the provider of earthmoving machinery. This is due to the tailored suite of solutions ranging from technology based solutions that monitor machine performance to technical support and a 24/7 nationwide customer support team.

In the ECORR plant fleet, there are three Hitachi ZW330-5 wheel loaders and three Hitachi ZX360LC-5 excavators and an additional ZX360LC-5 on order due for delivery mid-2022.

‘The purchase process of these machines was simple, the easy going nature and responsiveness of Barry Cahill (Hitachi Major Accounts Manager) and Adam Scully (Hitachi Sales Representative) made the process pleasant and stress-free’ adds Martin.

Similar to ECORR, HCA works on initiatives that support the environment and community with the future in mind. Through the processes developed and implemented at the Hitachi Reman facilities, currently ninety percent of used products are being refurbished back into new componentry. Last financial year, Hitachi Reman took in 5,132 tonnes of used components, disposing of only 518 tonnes of true unusable waste, which resulted in refurbishing 4,614 tonnes of materials into OEM quality components – a result we endeavour to continually improve upon.

At a local level, HCA branches are being fitted with solar power and rain water tanks where feasible, and energy efficient lighting and recycling implementations. Reducing not only cost to the customer, but waste to landfill and CO2 in the manufacturing processes.

ECORR is finalising their 2025 Sustainability strategy which includes goals that encompass Climate Active Certification, certifying products with leading sustainability schemes (Environmental Product Declaration and Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia) and a reduction in scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon neutral emissions.

The sustainability initiatives taken by both ECORR and HCA combined with community support contribute towards the United Nations sustainable Development Goals (SDG), together achieving positive outcomes for society and the environment through their day to day business operations.
