Solutions and systems for efficient waste management

Managing Director, Nick Ball, perceives great opportunities for the company’s resource-efficient solutions that contribute to more sustainable waste management and a circular economy.
How would you describe your operations?
“Among other things, we offer a pneumatic, i.e. air-based, separation solution for dry waste and waste sorting in the recycling industry. By using air-based technologies, material can be transported from its source, through channels, to an end station. In this way, light materials can be separated from heavier ones. The advantages of this are, above all, increased efficiency and decreased expenditure for personnel and premises. We currently have customers worldwide, from manufacturing industries, packaging and food to major global players in recycling and waste management.”
Where are your customers today?
“Pretty much all over the world. Many of our customers are international groups at the forefront of their industries and with high demands on technical solutions resulting in sustainable development. Accordingly, our air-based technology has the potential to realise the customer’s strategies and achieve the targets set for efficient waste management. As soon as a customer has our system installed and sees the benefits, they often choose to install the same system in another location where they have operations.”
“Increasing legislative demands for efficient recycling and recoverable material also entail continuously increasing demand for our resource-efficient systems. Our strategy is to capture the business potential in sustainable technical solutions mitigating society’s environmental impact and leading towards increased resource efficiency. The hot topic today otherwise discussed extensively in material recycling, is the use of robots to help sort the waste.”
What is the next step for Impact Air?
“I perceive tremendous business potential in the US for our waste management systems over the next few years. We have received a very good response from the largest waste management companies there, and I am convinced this will lead to new business. We will also continue developing our existing systems to respond to customers’ increasing demands for efficient recycling and waste management.”
