RECYCLING PROBLEMS INTO SUSTAINABLE RESOURCES
Stronger Communities video series – Episode 2
“Let’s recycle today so that we can have a brighter, cleaner tomorrow.”
Rockwood Sustainable Solutions has three key values: loyalty to their customers, dedication to the well-being of their employees, and commitment to their environment. When featured in the Stronger Communities Series they were able to show us exactly how they achieve those values.
Loyalty to Customers
Since 2014, Rockwood has taken their responsibility to their customers very seriously. “I want our customers to have a sense of belonging when they work with Rockwood,” says Charles Hartsell, Chief Operating Officer at Rockwood. Whether through the personal connections created with the employees of Rockwood, or the encouragement they receive by working together to make the world a better place, most customers of Rockwood Sustainable Solutions would agree that the company achieves that goal.
Dedication to Employees
The employees of Rockwood Sustainable Solutions consider each other to be family even though they come from many different demographics. Each member plays a crucial role, possessing unique skills and expertise that complement one another. Rockwood places an emphasis on taking good care of their employees. They know that if they build up their people first, the rest of the operation will fall perfectly into place.
Commitment to the Environment
Rockwood Sustainable Solutions’ main goal is to help create a brighter, cleaner Earth for all future generations to come. The two main industries they work in are construction and manufacturing recycling. Construction waste alone creates more than 30% of globally generated waste, including concrete, drywall, asphalt shingles, and many other items that Rockwood understands could be repurposed for additional use. “We’re taking all that away,” says Hartsell. “Those are things that you don’t have to worry about because we are going to worry about them for you.” They have been able to accomplish all kinds of work using a variety of Cat equipment. Rockwood has put their excavators and wheel loaders to work in sorting materials for transport. Their care for others and the planet is evident through their good work. Rockwood is dedicated to ensuring everyone in their local community knows we can all change this planet, one step at a time, and they’ve taken great steps to begin achieving this goal.
