We know that as a recycler, you face the daily challenge of managing complex operations while striving to maximise the value of the materials you process.
Staying ahead of the curve means having the right tools to ensure you always make the best business decisions. That’s where Gaea’s operational system comes in. We designed it specifically for recyclers like you.
Our operational system helps you:
- Monitor stock
- Track materials through your facility
- Gather the insights you need to increase profitability
Here are four simple ways Gaea can make a difference in your recycling operations.
1. Monitor and Optimise Your Stock Management
As a recycler, you must closely monitor your stock levels to ensure you’re constantly processing the most valuable materials.
With Gaea, you can monitor your stock in real time, allowing you to prioritise high-value items and avoid the costly mistake of stockpiling low-value materials.
Using Gaea’s system to track your inventory continuously, you can reduce waste, streamline your operations, and ultimately improve your bottom line.
2. Enhance Your Material Tracking and Traceability
We understand that tracking materials throughout your facility is critical to maintaining efficiency and profitability.
With Gaea, you can assign unique identifiers to each batch and track the flow of materials through different production stations.
This detailed tracking gives you insights into the composition and yield of materials like black mass, helping you make more informed decisions.
By improving traceability, you’ll have greater control over your operations and the confidence to negotiate better deals with refiners, knowing precisely what’s in your materials.
3. Improve Your Unit Economics and Profitability
Every penny counts in recycling, so understanding your unit economics is essential.
Gaea provides a clear breakdown of material flow, enabling you to analyse costs, revenue streams, and profitability drivers.
By tracking your processes at a job level, you can identify which material streams are the most profitable and adjust your pricing and operations accordingly.
This data-driven approach ensures you maximise profit margins on every tonne processed, helping you get the most out of your materials.
4: Leverage Predictive Insights for Better Decision-Making
We know that predicting the value of your materials before they’re tested can give you a significant advantage.
With Gaea’s predictive insights, you can access verified results from assay tests and compare them with our predictive data to better understand your materials’ potential value.
These insights are necessary to prevent you from generating material that will deliver poor profitability in subsequent assays and build confidence with their refiner off-takers about the quality of their materials.
