ResourceCo
Resourceco started operations in 1991 as a contract concrete crushing business. From its early days it quickly established itself at the forefront of resource recovery both in South Australia and nationally. In 1992 the board of Resourceco recongnized the need to set up a central facility that could service a wider range of customer needs and process substantially more waste than the current practice.
After trading predominantly as a crushing business for 5 years the company recognized the need to expand into commercial and industrial waste recycling and in 1997 they commissioned the construction of a purpose built processing facility.
The processing of waste into Alternative Fuels is fast becoming core business for Resourceco. With our Joint Venture partner, Adelaide Brighton Cement we have invested more than $20m in this area of the business, our goal is to take this concept both interstate and ultimately offshore.
Resourceco currently accept and process approximately 600,000 tonnes of concrete and asphalt per annum. In May 1999 Resourceco commissioned a new recycling facility at the site at Wingfield. This allows the recycling of a further 180,000 tonnes of mixed construction and demolition waste per annum, a total of 780,000 tonnes.
Resourceco enables 800 customers to divert their waste from landfills to a recycling centre. These customers are encouraged to reuse the recycled products in their civil and building works. Resourceco refer to this as closing the loop.

Greenstar Concrete
Green Star Concrete is the first concrete company in South Australia dedicated to maximizing the use of recycled aggregates and sands in the supply and manufacture of concrete. Recycled aggregates and sands are manufactured from clean concrete sourced from construction and demolition waste streams. By using recycled aggregates in the manufacture of concrete we are diverting a valuable resource away from landfill and also sustaining the life of finite quarry reserves.
