The paper and forest-products industry is steadily growing and transforming, as the types of products demanded across the globe continue to evolve. As we drive towards a circular economy, the industry has to invest more in recycling. Today, this means applying cutting-edge technology to a complex process.

Paper and plastic recyclers hit by the current crises can still bounce back. This is the firm opinion of the Madrid based Gerard Kissane who has over 10 years of experience in the waste industry. “Mapping the inbound and outbound processes can indicate where there is room for improvement and with that, how to increase growth and margins.”

Due to real-time data exchange with the industry-specific AMCS Recycling Software metal recyclers can respond immediately to the current price and market information.

If you want to completely digitalise and automate metal paper and plastic recycling, then the AMCS Recycling Software is the solution you’ve been looking for. It is an integrated IT system that streamlines all operational processes throughout your company, increasing both efficiency and margins.

Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) represents the highest single activity for producing waste in the EU. Many of the materials we generate as part of CDW have high resource value, such as metals, glass, wood and concrete. Yet, too much of these materials are going to waste. Clearly, this is not sustainable.

The materials recycling sector is incredibly complex. For instance, as part of the European Commission’s strategy, changes in design and manufacturing will enable higher rates for recycling plastics so that by 2030, more than half of the material’s waste generated will be recycled.

Metal crime is growing problem in Ireland and the UK. How can scrap dealers do more to protect their yard workers, property and infrastructure?

By rethinking what we throw away we can reverse the prevailing mindset of the proverbial disposable society. We all need to promote recycling and pressure our governments to do the same, while encouraging the sustainable trade of recyclable materials to green-driven companies across the world.

The global metal recycling industry is growing at an unprecedented rate. Is digitalisation the answer to key industry challenges?
