1. Palau Eco-Recycling Technologies
Founded in 2010, Palau Eco-Recycling Technologies has grown from a small local workshop to a leading name in cable and wire recycling solutions. What sets them apart is their laser focus on understanding the unique challenges of Palau's recycling landscape—where space is limited, and materials often arrive in mixed batches. Their flagship products include hydraulic cutter equipment designed to slice through armored cables, coaxial wires, and even thick marine-grade ropes with minimal effort. Paired with their scrap cable stripper equipment, which removes insulation cleanly to reveal copper or aluminum cores, their systems have become a favorite among local recycling centers.
What clients love most is their hands-on approach. The team at Palau Eco-Recycling doesn't just sell machines; they work alongside clients to design workflows that fit their space and budget. For example, a small-scale recycler in Koror was struggling with manual cable stripping, which was slow and labor-intensive. The company provided a compact hydraulic cutter paired with a tabletop scrap cable stripper, cutting processing time by 60%. "They didn't just ｄｒｏｐ off a machine—they trained my staff and checked in monthly to make sure everything ran smoothly," says the recycler. With ISO 9001 certification and a 5-year warranty on critical components, it's no wonder they've built a loyal client base across Micronesia.
2. Pacific Hydraulic Solutions Ltd.
Established in 2005, Pacific Hydraulic Solutions Ltd. has earned a reputation for precision in motor and metal processing. Their motor stator cutter equipment is a game-changer for Palau's auto and marine repair shops, which generate tons of scrap motors annually. Unlike generic cutters, their stator-specific designs target the copper windings inside motor cores, allowing recyclers to extract valuable metals without damaging the core itself—a detail that boosts resale value. "We used to hack at stators with angle grinders, losing 10-15% of the copper to damage," explains a local auto recycler. "Pacific's cutter makes clean cuts, so we recover almost every gram."
Beyond stators, their hydraulic press machines equipment complements their cutting tools perfectly. These presses compact scrap metal into dense bales, reducing storage space and transportation costs. What stands out is their commitment to durability. The company sources hydraulic components from Japan and Germany, ensuring machines can handle Palau's humid climate and heavy daily use. They also offer on-site maintenance training, so clients don't have to wait for overseas technicians. "Last year, our press jammed during a busy week," recalls a client. "Their technician was at our facility within 24 hours, fixed it, and showed my team how to prevent it next time." With a focus on long-term partnerships, Pacific Hydraulic Solutions isn't just a supplier—they're a partner in their clients' success.
3. Palau Industrial Tools & Equipment
Palau Industrial Tools & Equipment (PITE) entered the market in 2012 with a simple mission: to provide versatile recycling solutions for Palau's diverse waste streams. Their hydraulic cutter equipment is a testament to this—designed to handle everything from aluminum cans to thick steel pipes, making them ideal for community recycling centers that process mixed materials. But it's their hydraulic baler equipment that truly shines. Compact yet powerful, these balers compress plastic, cardboard, and metal into neat bales, turning loose scrap into stackable, transportable goods.
PITE prides itself on local support. With a warehouse in downtown Koror, they stock replacement parts for all their machines, ensuring minimal downtime for clients. "When our baler's hydraulic hose burst, we called PITE at 8 a.m., and they had a replacement part delivered by noon," says a community recycler in Airai. The company also offers flexible financing options, recognizing that small businesses and nonprofits often operate on tight budgets. "We started with just a cutter and a baler, and as our business grew, PITE helped us upgrade incrementally," notes a client. With a focus on accessibility and adaptability, PITE has become a go-to for organizations looking to start or scale their recycling operations.
4. Oceanic Recycling Systems
Founded in 2015, Oceanic Recycling Systems saw a gap in Palau's e-waste processing capabilities and stepped in to fill it.
