Specialty Recycling
June 18, 2024
Specialty recycling companies are stepping up to deal with hard-to-recycle items that traditional recycling programs can't handle. These services collect materials like batteries, clothing, seasonal items and plastic film, and send them to specialized recyclers or repurposing them into new products themselves. Despite facing challenges like contamination and the low value of certain materials, these companies are playing a crucial role in diverting waste from landfills and promoting a circular economy. Their success highlights the need for innovative solutions to manage the growing complexity of modern waste streams.
