“The implementation of their automated sorting system completely transformed our post-production waste flow. We reduced material loss by over 40% in the first year.”

Usage Context:
Management of mixed polymer flow from automotive component production.

Concrete Result: By optimizing recovery logistics and the precise sorting of polypropylene and ABS, our company was able to directly reintroduce over 300 tons of materials into the production cycle, reducing dependence on virgin raw materials.
A detailed analysis of the project completed for an industrial complex in Bacău.
Collaborating with Junk Cats represented an inflection point for managing our secondary waste. Our operations generated significant volumes of mixed polymers and packaging scraps, which were treated as a cost, not a resource.
The team implemented an automatic sorting system with NIR sensors, which increased material stream purity from below 70% to over 95%. This opened the possibility of direct sales to premium recyclers, transforming a cost center into a minor, but consistent, revenue stream.
The most valuable aspect was the proposed reverse logistics model. We optimized internal collection routes, reducing handling time by 30% and integrated data from the waste stream into our ERP system for complete visibility. The circular economy practically became a visible report on our monthly boards.
I recommend Junk Cats to any industrial entity that wants to move from statements of intent to clear metrics and efficient processes in secondary resource management.
