Hello Searchfunders - Anyone here invested in, operated or searched/searching for waste recycling solutions? Could be tech based, recycling facilities, reverse logistics or any associated domain. Please drop a text below or DM me, I would love to chat.

My search went off in a different direction, but it looked like an exciting and promising industry, made more promising with federal legislation (?) and/or revised White House priorities from the past couple years. I was mainly looking at specialist engineering firms that build and maintain facilities. I still intend to return to it someday, but I have a couple other priorities first. In the meantime, I made a list of a few resources and prospects in the industry. Feel free to email me at redacted if you'd like me to send it to you.
One potential problem is that the emissions are increasingly tainted with silicon-containing compounds, probably from shampoo and other beauty products. When the compounds are burned, they essentially make very very fine sand -- which, as you can imagine, really irritates every little crack and crevice of the plant, not to mention the engineers themselves.

Second, make sure you understand your input supply, depending on the market availability of the input those guys might have a lot of leverage against you.
Happy to chat
