As event videographers in Melbourne, we get to witness some pretty amazing moments. This one was particularly inspiring.
When EcoCycle Group officially launched EcoBatt’s new Lithium Battery and Battery-in-Devices Shredding Plant, we were there to capture it all.
Everyday, more and more devices are being made with better batteries: everything from mobile phones, toothbrushes to laptops. These devices require more complex processing and the materials are harder to recover, but the new facility uses specialised shredding and separation technology to extract batteries from devices and recover more than 90 per cent of valuable materials, including metals and plastics, for reuse. Capable of processing up to one tonne of devices per hour, the plant sets a new benchmark for battery safety and recycling infrastructure.
It’s the first in the world and it’s right here in Victoria.
Doug Rowe, CEO of the EcoCycle Group, said the launch marks a turning point for battery recycling in Australia. “Every home has products with hidden batteries, and until now there hasn’t been a dedicated way to recover them at scale. This plant gives Australians confidence that when they recycle, those batteries are managed safely, onshore, and responsibly.”
We only keep saying this because it’s true, but if you’ve invested time, money, and energy into planning and executing an incredible event, why not partner with a professional event videographer in Melbourne who can record it for posterity, while transforming it into lasting, high-impact promotional content.
