Powering South Africas circular economy with Volvo excavators and wheel loaders | ShortsCars

What if your waste stream became your revenue stream? The company Crush It Green is proving it's possible. The Volvo EC220E and EC300E crawler excavators plus L120H wheel loader power Gauteng's circular economy transformation, converting demolition debris and mine dumps into high-value recycled aggregates while diverting significant tonnages from landfill.
Crush It Green's success demonstrates how environmental responsibility and business performance aren't competing priorities—they're complementary goals when supported by quality Volvo equipment.

INFO
Crush It Green is turning Gauteng’s waste challenge into a business opportunity—using machines from Volvo Construction Equipment to power circular economy success and operational efficiency.

In Gauteng, South Africa, Crush It Green is redefining how construction and mining waste is handled-transforming demolition debris, mine dumps, and legacy stockpiles into high-value recycled aggregates. Specializing in large-scale recycling at the heart of South Africa's urban expansion, the company is diverting significant tonnages of material from landfill, fueling both business growth and environmental stewardship.

At the core of this operation is a dedicated Volvo fleet: EC220E and EC300E excavators, and L120H wheel loader—selected for their hydraulic precision, robust performance, and operator comfort. Site Manager Trevor Rodwell highlights the clear impact:

"We've tried other machines before, but since switching to Volvo Construction Equipment through Babcock, the difference has been clear. Our operators love them, the machines are powerful and smooth, and we've seen a noticeable reduction in diesel consumption—which adds up fast across a fleet."


Responsive support maximizes uptime
Maximizing productivity and minimizing downtime is essential for Crush It Green's work. Here, the partnership with Volvo and local dealer Babcock proves equally pivotal.
"Babcock's after-sales support is critical. When I phone with a breakdown, there's no long delay- I get a call back, a technician is dispatched, and parts arrive if needed,"
says Rodwell.

Setting new standards
"Our partnership with Crush It Green demonstrates how the right machines, supported by responsive service, can deliver strong commercial performance while advancing environmental outcomes. Helping customers reduce fuel consumption, improve reliability and keep operations running smoothly is what success looks like for us,"


says Lance Mannix, Head of Sales Equipment at Babcock.

As Crush It Green expands its footprint and scales up recycling projects, sustainable performance remains central to its vision. Volvo equipment and seamless support enable the company to set new standards for circularity in the construction sector-building a more resource-efficient future for Gauteng and beyond.
