Today, any construction project, be it residential, commercial or industrial, comes hand in hand with environmental impact, and the equipment you use plays a huge role in the footprint you leave. From emissions and resource extraction to manufacturing waste, managing your budget to adopt more sustainable practices can be super challenging.
Challenging, but not impossible.
Opt Hire’s mission is to meet that challenge. Our fleet of equipment and products has been curated to deliver superior, sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions, reducing your carbon footprint, minimising waste, contributing to a greener future and meeting ESG goals.
So, how exactly does our equipment hire contribute to a better environmental outcome?
Maximising Usage:
Primarily, it's all about economies of scale: Instead of an owned machine that has minimal use, a hired asset is put to work across multiple projects and businesses, lowering the environmental footprint through reducing volume production in the manufacturing supply chain, saving on resources such as steel and rare earths.
Maintenance and Technology Development:
At the very core of what we do (day in, day out) is fleet maintenance, ensuring our equipment is kept in perfect working condition. So, by the time our equipment is delivered to you, there’s nothing to worry about. Opt Hire equipment runs smoothly, requires less fuel, and directly reduces CO2 emissions.
Low-emission tech-specialised equipment (i.e. diesel and electric) is constantly evolving, so by hiring for your project, you’re directly reducing your environmental impact and positively contributing to the overarching ESG goals.
Waste Reduction:
Hiring sustainable equipment reduces landfill waste. The end-of-life benefit is that hiring equipment is completely cyclical.
The cycle is simple: Firstly, when a piece of equipment is returned to Opt Hire damaged, we repair it back to perfect operational standard, ready for the next project. Secondly, when equipment is at the end of its life, we salvage spare parts and materials for recycling, so they can become part of a new piece of equipment.
How Hiring Equipment Benefits Your Business
Over and above a reduction in your project's environmental impact, hiring equipment has other benefits for your business, too. For example:
- Meeting your ESG goals: Every business has ESG goals that they want to achieve, and sustainable equipment hire lowers your on-site emissions. With increasing regulatory demands, this is more important than ever. Make your business more attractive to green-conscious clients by meeting your ESG goals.
- Cost Saving: By using newer and more efficient equipment, you’ll consume less fuel, saving on operating costs. Plus, you’ll save storage and maintenance overheads as once you’re done, we pick everything up, leaving you with a clean, lean site.
Take steps towards a greener business cycle by hiring your equipment with Opt Hire. It’s environmentally friendly and budget-friendly, too.
