“In the last decade, Hyva’s global revenues from products sold into the environmental service industries have grown from zero to around 20 per cent of global sales. This demonstrates our agility as a business and our ability to recognise and capitalise on industry and market trends,” says Mr. Louwrens Dijkstra, CEO of Hyva. “And, despite the current uncertainties in the global economy, we expect waste management solutions to continue to grow in importance.”
The opportunity has been created by environmental legislation and regulation by government and private sector initiatives to improve environmental performance and by rising volumes of waste and garbage arising from population growth, urbanisation and industrialisation.
Hyva’s success in this area has been built on a diverse and competitive product portfolio, strategic partnerships with commercial vehicle manufacturers and specialized component suppliers, as well as the ability to supply and service customers on a onestop-shop, global basis.
The Hyva product portfolio serving the environmental service industries includes mobile and static compactors, hook and skip loaders, tippers, cranes, refuse collection vehicles (RCVs) and shredders. Strategic partnerships have been established with Oshkosh Corporation (manufacturing in China), Dennis Eagle (manufacturing RCVs in India and exporting to the Middle East and Far East), and Cargo Floor (manufacturing in Holland).
“These partnerships are particularly important to us. As they develop technical knowledge and facilitate additional sales in new territories through lower manufacturing costs and proximity to markets”, says Mr. Dijkstra.
Falling prices for recycled materials are an issue, and it is unlikely that, in the short term, there will be more than limited replacement demand in mature markets such as Western Europe and North America. However, in the developing economies of the Middle East, Far East, South America, India and China, there is still potential derived from large infrastructure projects and the growing demand for waste and garbage collection and handling.
“Over the last ten years, we have made a huge impact in this area. And, we will continue to do so in the future through new product development, technology partnerships and acquisitions where we can increase market share, improve geographic reach or secure new products and technologies,” he adds.
Role in waste handling
Hyva is playing an important and growing role in waste handling and management around the world. Despite the current economic uncertainties, demand remains strong in the developing economies from large infrastructure projects and from waste collection and handling in the growing urbanised areas. Hyva’s strength in meeting this demand is built on a diverse product portfolio, technology leadership, regionalised production, and strong after-sales and support.
Given below are Hyva’s expanding waste management activities in several countries:
Mexico: In recent years, the responsibility for collection of waste from commercial buildings and manufacturing plants has moved from municipal services to private sector collection companies.
Equipment configurations in use include stationary containers (up to 6 cubic metres) collected with front loader trucks, stationary containers (up to 30 cubic metres, 18 ton) collected with roll-off, winch-loader trucks, containers with fixed or integrated compactors (up to 30 cubic metres, 18 ton) collected with roll-off, and winch-loader trucks. In the construction industry, there is potential for use of Hyva skip loaders, although it would require some changes to the legislation and regulations relating to handling of construction debris.
France: The European Parliament’s Environment Committee has set targets that by 2020, 50 per cent of the European Union’s household waste and 70 per cent of construction waste should be recycled; and member-States should aim to stabilise waste production by 2012 (based on the 2009 levels). In the seven-year period (1999-2006), the French population increased from 60 million to 63 million.
These trends indicate the likely increase in demand for waste handling over the next 10 years. Systems commonly used by waste handling companies in France are Hyva lift hook loaders and also Hyva Floor for horizontal loading and unloading.
Spain: Eroski, the leading supermarket retailer in Spain, decided six years ago to introduce its own waste management system to handle cardboard cartons and plastic wrappings and films. Hyva provided it with a customised solution, including delivery and collection of units based on MP16SW mobile press containers for organic waste, and stationary compactors for film and carton. This equipment is supported by a maintenance contract with 24/7 assistance throughout Spain.
At present, Eroski has more than 200 Hyva press units in service. And there are more than 350 trucks carrying the Hyvapress name across the Spanish road network.
Australia: Australia lacks an up-to-date national waste strategy, and although the domestic kerb-side recycling collection project has been fully embraced by all the States, the industrial sector is way behind Europe. A major portion of industrial waste is still sent direct to landfill, and large-scale material recycling facilities are few and far between. As a result, Australia’s waste levels have risen by 28 per cent in the last five years.
Although there is a lot of space to build such facilities, only a few companies have sourced the technology required to process high waste volumes, and often the major cities have many small waste companies transporting high volumes of over long distances to landfill.
As a result, the Hyva 8x4 hook lift with drawbar trailer is popular to move high volumes over long distances with much lower gross vehicle weight allowances than in Europe. The Hyva telescopic skip loader is also proving popular when fitted to a long wheelbase 6x4 chassis allowing the operators to transport up to 5 semi-loaded, 4 cubic meter skips.
Further potential exists with plant and machinery companies which have diversified into waste management and can cut their transport costs by using one Hyva hook lift and trailer to move their waste where they previously had to use two or three vehicles.
Romania: Vrancart is the leading producer of hygienic papers, fluting paper and corrugated cardboard in Romania. New materials are delivered to, and used materials are collected from supermarkets. Hook loaders are the main Hyva product in use, but there is also potential for skip loaders, cranes and Hyva Floor.
