Recycling Control Systems sorting machine - OSCO Controls

How Process Controls Improve Recycling Applications

The recycling industry has grown significantly in size and complexity in recent years. Valued at nearly $58 billion in 2021, the industry is forecasted to expand to $90 billion by 2028. New technologies that enable more accurate handling and recovery of materials, plus consumer awareness related to environmental sustainability, contribute to the industry’s positive outlook.

Choosing The Right Equipment For The Job

Recycling is an equipment-intense business relying on a variety of machines, including optical sorters, air classifiers, metering units, magnetic separators, balers, crushers, and conveyor systems. These sophisticated devices are designed to support the handling and sorting of various commodities, including glass, metals, cardboard, and plastics.

By selecting the appropriate sorting equipment, companies increase their productivity levels. Due to the projected growth rate of the industry and the shifting competitor landscape, recyclers should consider another option to improve and streamline their processes. By adding advanced control systems, recyclers can take their operations to an entirely new level.
