As resource management companies process waste and facilitate suitable end destinations, one company says that they must focus on bespoke solutions where optimum engineering and quality output is central when looking for new infrastructure to effectively increase their recycling capabilities.
blueMAC’s managing director, Ciaran McCarney says that the most common problems are workflow requirements and ensuring that the waste process is optimised.
Recently acquired by the JANS Group, blueMAC designs and plans infrastructure for material processing systems and waste management and resource facilities, alongside trusted partners across the globe, creating integrated recycling solutions.
Ciaran McCarney said, “The waste industry can be complex with its various streams, waste analysis and the many end products and destinations. The growing population means an increase in the generation of waste across the world and therefore a growing market in waste management. Add to this the global focus on recycling and reusing, to reduce the volume of material going to landfill and you have a very dynamic and evolving business sector.
“It has been estimated that the resources and waste management sector in the UK alone turns over £9 billion every year and carries out several activities including waste collection, treatment, recycling, reprocessing, disposal and the generation of energy from waste (Environmental Services Association, 2016; Jones and Comfort, 2018).
“Extensive investment, as we all know, is needed in the way that waste is processed once it has been collected, to achieve much greater separation and much higher quality of output for the recycling industry.
“blueMAC has amassed a wealth of knowledge across a variety of applications. Each of the applications and business sectors we work within bring their own unique set of challenges. Furthermore, these challenges are always changing and evolving with new legislation and the increased focus to increase the volume of recycled material.“Whilst operators are introducing a diverse range of input materials to our equipment, and clearly have different objectives for what they are looking to achieve, our focus remains constant. We create and install highly efficient plants designed to provide a rapid return on investment. Whether the customer’s site is compact or has ample space for the plant, we also have the experience to design systems to maximise potential throughput and profitability.
“We also have a strong emphasis on new product development, to keep us at the cutting edge of materials recovery facilities. These innovations continually improve the processes within our plants and improve recovery rates.
“blueMAC has a distinct place within the recycling industry, where, with an exceptional team of design engineers, they can create waste infrastructure to your exact requirements.
“We are based in Northern Ireland and by working with experienced, professional sales teams alongside a supportive partnership network, we are able to develop and service the blueMAC brand on a global scale, whilst acquiring an understanding of local markets, cultures and values.
“Our company focus is very much on how to provide the most efficient recycling machinery to equip companies with the means to improve their workflow and waste recovery processes and to ensure that from an initial enquiry through to design, development, fabrication, manufacture and installation; everything is completed under the guidance of our experienced qualified engineers. With our ISO 9001, 14001 and 18001 certifications you have complete assurance of quality.”

blueMAC is exhibiting at the Resource & Waste Management (RWM) Expo 2023, from the 13-14 September 2023, at the NEC, Birmingham, where the event is focused on the circular economy, net zero, and material processing solutions that contribute to a more sustainable future.
“The RWM Expo is a great opportunity for us to directly engage with our customers and to discuss what’s new in the sector. At blueMAC we are looking forward to collaborating with new and existing customers to learn from, and inspire one another towards a greener future,” concluded Ciaran.
