Manufacturing Recycling
Manufacturers’ sole focus should be on making their product the best it can be, which includes consideration of sustainable manufacturing practices and end-of-life. Operationally, manufacturers must responsibly dispose of or reuse their waste to avoid facility constraints that can negatively affect production and service delivery.
How We Help with Manufacturing Recycling
Late or errant pickups of recyclables or waste create space constraints, which can disrupt production and force uncollected recyclables outside where they become contaminated, wet or dirty, thus lowering resale value.
With us, you can rest assured your waste is picked up promptly and efficiently so you experience no disruption. We offer many options for recycling, whether that’s processing through our own plants or finding the right buyers. Regardless of the recycling market situation, we always have the flexibility and commitment to service your recycling needs.
A manufacturing recycling program can be difficult to implement, especially with the complexity and diversity of materials used in production. This requires careful sorting to maximize value and material recyclability.
You can lean on us as experts to audit your current waste stream and help educate your team on how to sort your material, divert more waste and get more income for your recyclables.
As consumer demand and regulations such as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) drive sustainable manufacturing, manufacturers must evaluate how to extend product lifecycle.
Let us consult with you on product design and find ways to increase recycled content and overall recyclability. With our access to materials on both the local and national recycling markets, we can procure the raw materials you need for your process.
Manufacturers who want to make their production more circular with closed loop recycling can do so with Federal Recycling. We buy your material, grind or pelletize it, and sell it back to you for reuse in your production process.
We have successfully implemented these programs for several customers with plastic byproduct, with great results, and can do the same for you.
Byproducts of manufacturing can be a diverse array of materials, including those that are hard-to-recycle. We have creative solutions for finding a home for all your materials, whether it’s recycling or disposing of your material through a Waste to Energy process.
No matter your goals, we help you develop a plan that supports your company’s sustainability initiatives.
Inadequate or the lack of commercial recycling equipment can drive up waste hauling costs and crowd your space, which can create production interruptions and delays.
We assess your types of waste and volumes and then place the right commercial recycling equipment onsite at your facility. Due to volume, manufacturers typically require compactors or balers to handle and store their recyclables and waste for pick up. We also offer preventive maintenance and service programs to keep your equipment running smoothly.
Pallets are important for keeping your component materials or manufactured product organized before being used or shipped out.
Whether you need to free up space, require more pallets or are interested in repairs for your existing pallet inventory, we have a robust pallet recycling and sales operation to address your needs.
Tracking waste and recycling can be a burden with both time and cost, especially on top of managing inventory and production schedules.
Our customer portal allows you to see your waste and recycling volumes. Additionally, we can provide custom waste and recycling reports that measure your program’s effectiveness and sustainability goal achievement.
