Significant Changes in Waste Management
Europe has experienced significant changes in its waste management in recent decades. It has gone from uncontrolled dumping to a regulatory structure that oversees and directs all waste generated, from individual citizens to administrations and large companies. This institutional drive to establish regulations is closely related to the improvement of oversight of the sustainability of value chains, consumption and production. This change has given rise to an economic and innovative sector dedicated to improving and optimizing the processes of identification and separation of materials that end up in landfills.
Picvisa: A Leading Company in Waste Treatment
An outstanding company in this sector is Picvisa, which has more than 20 years of experience and is the only company in Spain and one of the most important in southern Europe. The key to its success is its advanced technology. They use machine vision and other technologies to efficiently identify and separate different materials. This allows them to value products and improve recycling.
The Transformation of Picvisa
Picvisa has evolved over the years from a company focused on automating processes for the construction industry to becoming a complete company that integrates software and hardware to provide solutions to clients. This integration of the entire process has turned Picvisa into a more complete company and has allowed it to offer a wider service to customers, from the installation of the machines to their maintenance.
The Future of Waste Treatment
The waste treatment sector is a rapidly growing industry, driven by growing social awareness of recycling and sustainability. The companies in this sector are subject to the regulations established by the administrations, which regulate the management of waste. In Europe, this industry is more developed than in other regions, and European companies are looking for growth opportunities outside the Community borders.
The presence of Picvisa at DFactory
Picvisa is focused on innovation and the application of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence to improve separation and recycling processes. Their presence at DFactory, an innovation space in the Consorci de la Zona Franca de Barcelona, allows them to collaborate with other companies in the same sector and take advantage of synergies to accelerate the development of new products and solutions.
