The opportunity
Why this business works now
Businesses, households and waste operators need reliable routes for separated recyclable material. A processing yard can buy, collect or receive selected streams and prepare them to buyer specifications. The plan explains supplier relationships, loads, weighing, grading, contamination control, processing, stock, sales, transport and reporting.
Several material streams
Paper, plastic, metal and selected materials have different handling needs.
Supply and buyer network
Reliable incoming material and downstream outlets drive the operation.
Value added by processing
Sorting, baling or preparation can improve sale and transport efficiency.
