JAKARTA, Indonesia, April 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Australian government recently introduced the Circular Economy Framework, a strategic initiative designed to boost sustainability and economic growth. The framework aims to double the country's circularity by 2025, potentially adding $26 billion to the GDP by 2035 and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 14%. With sustainability driving business growth, 67% of Australian companies report financial benefits from their green strategies, according to SAP. Sustainable products may have higher upfront costs, the long-term advantages, such as improved efficiency, stronger brand reputation, and increased customer loyalty, outweigh the initial investment. As a result, more businesses are prioritizing sustainability, with 49% planning to increase spending over the next three years, up from 38% last year. Aligning with this momentum, APP Group, through its strategic supply partnership with Sorbent, integrates sustainability into its operations in Australia, embedding eco-friendly practices to support the country's circular economy."

VIEREMÄ, Finland, April 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The PONSSE Greasing System is a new optional accessory for Ponsse harvester heads, designed for chainsaw lubrication. The system feeds grease to the chainsaw from screw-in grease cartridges according to the dosing settings made through the Opti5G information system. Grease cartridges stored in a warm place ensure effective lubrication throughout the work shift. "This is a solution that makes the workday of a forest machine operator easier, especially in cold weather. The grease cartridges replace the fixed grease tank in the harvester head, so you no longer need to pump cold grease from an external container to the harvester head's grease tank. The cartridge is quick and easy to replace. The cartridges are easy to transport and can be stored in car or cabin," says Toni Rajaniemi, Ponsse's project manager. The lubrication system can hold two 400-gram screw cartridges, which last approximately 8-16 hours, depending on the amount of sawing and dosing settings. The dosing settings can be adjusted from the Opti 5G information system according to the situation and need. The information system notifies the operator when it is time to change the cartridge. The grease cartridge is quick to change, so the machine's downtime is very short. The grease cartridge can be refilled. Ponsse's range includes grease cartridges suitable for various needs such as mineral oil-based grease or new biodegradable oil-based grease. The PONSSE Greasing System is currently available for all PONSSE H6, H7, and H8 harvester heads. The Greasing Systems can also be retrofitted.
