CEOs of Recycling Services

Dealing with change in an evolving sector

The recycling services sector is evolving and CEOs need to embrace change and adopt their organizations to meet this.

New technologies and innovations are helping to increase efficiencies throughout the recycling process. Smart bins, smart tags, sensors, telematics and cloud software are just some of the technologies providing greater insights for organizations to better understand and improve their operations.

Sustainability and the circular economy are not only bringing greater focus on the sector, it is also creating new business opportunities. A combination of government initiatives and customer demands requires organizations to rethink how they use, produce and reuse key materials for their products.

Monitor and reduce operational costs

New technologies and solutions in the sector provide recycling organizations significant opportunity to reduce their operation costs.

• 

  Smart bins, using sensors and/or compacting reduce the collection frequencies and create an on-demand service.

• 

  Transport and logistic improvements reduce the fleet requirements, increase fleet utilization and reduce fuel consumption.

• 

  Improved material management through technology enables higher yields on recycling materials and a better ROI.

• 

  Manual labour focused on manual data capture and processing can be automated and re-focused on customer satisfaction and reporting.
