We are proud to announce the launch of the Optical Sorter to improve the way NYC businesses recycle at the NYC GoGreen conference

New York, New York (September 26, 2013) Joe Burke, Action Environmental Group, Inc’s Director of Sales, publicly announced the company’s recycling business, Action Environmental Solutions, opening of their new state of the art recycling facility in the Bronx at NYC’s GoGreen conference. This recycling center will ultimately change the way New York City recycles. This new recycling facility called The Optical Sorter uses RedWave optic technology to automate the recycling process and extract more waste from landfills.

 

An optical sorter uses infrared technology to detect and separate all seven grades plastics, white paper from mixed paper and cardboard from the rest. This allows Action to extract higher quality recyclables out of the waste stream. This will also allow the customer to single stream their recycling. Single stream is when all recyclables go into one bin, no longer needing to separate. The Action Environmental Group philosophy behind the purchase of this vast and innovate recycling center is to lead NYC into the future of recycling.

 

“This technology allows us to extract recyclable material from what would otherwise be land filled. The goal of recycling has not changed but the method now has greatly improved.”- CEO of Action Environmental Group, Ronald S. Bergamini

Susan G Komen Walk

Action is a proud sponsor of the Susan G Komen foundation and every year we like to participate in the big NYC 5k Race for a Cure. This was especially exciting this year for the Action team as we asked our newest employees from the recent Interstate Waste Services acquisition to participate. Coming together for the first time and participating in a cause that effects us all in one way or another.

Some employees raced for the women in their family, a mother, sister or a friend. We are so proud of all the employees that participated in this years race. We got to have a lot of fun too!
