Opticom Tech was featured in Recycling Product News in an editorial called, “How Video Monitoring Solutions Can Improve Recycling Facility Operations.”
There are roughly 18,000 recycling plants across the US and their distribution mirrors population density: there are more such facilities in areas with more population, as expected.
The average American produces 4.9 pounds of waste every day, which leads to a whopping 292 million tons of waste per year across the country. Consequently, recycling facilities are critical to the health and wellbeing of the population, and their importance will only grow in the future.
Recycling facilities’ operations have to run smoothly to prevent incidents and to keep up with the ever-growing demand. This is where video monitoring comes in.
