MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR
Advertisement
The pillars of our business serve the market sectors that exist, but we have also seen that the cross fertilisation of ideas between pillars and their clients has charted new territories - we are determined with partners, to invest and prosper from those ideas.
The reason we exist is not only climate change. Our purpose is sustainable resource recovery by a sustainable business. Along the way what we’ve discovered is that our very responses to the resources we have collected have presented opportunities to change the nature of business practices and introduce new technologies. We are determined to be a contributor by changing what is acceptable in order to benefit the planet, discarding nothing but outmoded practices. Not one individual or conglomerate that prospers from our planet can continue to use the Earth’s valuable resources and not account for that. That doesn’t mean the end of business as such, it means using the resources we require in a smarter way. To continue on that path requires reusing the resources that are not ‘totally’ spent, bringing them into a useful second and third life as well as re-evaluating our requirement from virgin resources as well. It’s a huge task, but we know that to be sustainable, is to prosper and re-invent our collective future.”
“WE SEE WASTE AS A PRODUCT”
Simon Brown Managing Director, ResourceCo
A GLOBAL LEADER IN RESOURCE RECOVERY AND A PIONEER IN CIRCULAR ECONOMY CARBON ABATEMENT
ACCELERATING GROWTH FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
Since 1992, ResourceCo has repurposed over 60 million tonnes of waste avoiding over 370,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per annum. This is the equivalent to taking 75,000 cars off the road.
ResourceCo has been in the forefront of generating circular carbon abatement sales with over 2.5 million tonnes sold until 2021 and was the first company to register under the Emissions Reductions Fund (ERF) Australia.
The Resource Recovery industry has a critical role to play in decarbonising the economy to achieve a low carbon transition aligned to the ‘Paris Agreement goals on climate change’ and global commitments to achieve ‘Net Zero’ by 2050.
As an increasing number of organisations commit to reducing emissions, and investors demand clear, credible transition plans, the resource recovery industry will be critical to help organisations achieve Net Zero targets and progress the circular economy. With a strong focus on reducing emissions through our core business activities of repurposing materials otherwise destined for landfill, we are committed to supporting Net Zero aspirations of organisations with a shared sense of purpose and direction to support them through decarbonisation to preserve Earth’s limited resources.
That is why we are focused on accelerating our growth through innovation and investments, with well-established circular carbon abatement opportunities.
ResourceCo’s business is structured to drive sustainability transformation by offering high quality repurposed products and solutions whilst generating circular carbon abatement opportunities.
Our investments beyond 2021 to expand and grow our business footprint will enable us to partner with organisations for better environmental social and economic outcomes whilst reducing waste to landfill and progressing a circular economy.
