Eco-efficient renting instead of owning

Eco-efficient operations are marked by efficient use of materials. Machinery and equipment require various expensive and non-renewable raw materials. It is cost- and eco-efficient that as many users as possible benefit from the machinery and equipment by renting them according to their needs. Ramirent optimises machinery solutions for each site.

In choosing suppliers, we prioritise features that reduce the environmental load with respects to energy efficiency, disposal of waste oils and lubricants as well as noise pollution and equipment vibration. We want our customers to be able to be sure that when they rent machinery and equipment from us, they make an excellent choice in terms of environment and safety. In our own operations we are committed to minimising all negative impacts on the environment. Certified quality and environmental management systems are key tools for us.

Extending the life of a machine

Continuous maintenance and inspection after every rental reduce the adverse environmental impacts of machines during operation and lengthen their useful lifetime. The life cycle of a well maintained machine can also continue with another owner. Hazardous waste, such as batteries, waste oils and filters, are recovered and processed in accordance with laws and regulations. We reduce adverse environmental impacts, such as exhaust emissions, arising from the transportation of machinery by investing in the optimisation of logistics and taking advantage of our outlet network. The objective is to transport as many machines as possible at the same time via the shortest route.

Many of our rental locations recycle all their waste and Ramirent AB in Sweden, for example, compiles statistics on recycling and amount of general waste from every outlet annually.
