RCon 2026, here we come!

Sebastian and Brent are headed to St. Louis for RCon by SWANA, September 29–October 2.

If you're looking at new ways to improve your waste processing operation, add capacity, or tackle a challenging material stream, stop by Booth #1110 and talk with our team. We’d love to hear what you’re working on and show you what eFACTOR3 can bring to the table.

See you in St. Louis!

We’re bringing a little horsepower to the classroom.

Next Friday, September 4, eFACTOR3 will be joining the 20th Annual NC Compost Operations Training Course at NC State University for an equipment demonstration.

We will be putting the Ecostar NHEXA and Westeria windsifter to work and giving attendees a firsthand look at screening and air separation in compost processing.

If you’re attending the course, come see us Friday morning. We’re looking forward to getting these machines in front of the operators who work with this material every day.

The secret behind the RIS? Impact.

Take dirty plastic film. The plastic and the dirt attached to it don't react the same way under stress.
The dirt is more friable, so repeated impact breaks it away from the film, allowing the liberated contamination to pass through the screen.

That's the principle behind the BGI RIS Impact Separator: use the differences in the material to separate what you want from what you don't.

Have a difficult material stream? Let's see what impact can do.

M&J 4000 Mobile vs. commercial waste.

The M4000 pre-shreds bulky, mixed material down to a more consistent size, making it easier to handle and prepare for downstream processing.

We currently have preowned M&J 4000 Mobile Pre-Shredders available for purchase. Multiple units and knife configurations are available, without the lead time of ordering new equipment.

More organics are being diverted from landfills. More funding is going toward composting infrastructure. But neither of those things automatically creates the capacity to process that material.

That's where things get interesting.

As more food and organic waste makes its way to composting facilities, operators are dealing with higher volumes and messier incoming material. Plastic film, bags, packaging, and other contamination can quickly become a problem when the processing equipment isn't designed to handle it.

Our latest blog takes a look at what's changing in composting right now, from federal and state funding to the screening, separation, and decontamination technology helping facilities keep up.

If you're planning a composting project or considering upgrades to an existing operation, there's a lot happening in this space that's worth paying attention to.

See how IoT sensors, AI sorting, and federal grants like SWIFR and FPEP are transforming composting from a niche program into critical infrastructure.

Every ton of contamination costs your operation.

The question is... how far do you let it go?

The longer dirt, paper, labels, and other contaminants stay in your system, the more they impact equipment wear, processing efficiency, and material value.

Removing contamination earlier can make a big difference than most processors.

That's exactly why the BGI RIS Impact Separator was developed.

By removing contamination early in the process, the RIS helps protect downstream equipment, improve material quality, and create a cleaner feedstock before it reaches the next stage of processing.

Cleaner material. Better performance. More value from every ton.

Every recycling facility is different. So why are so many solutions treated the same?

No two waste streams are identical.
Processing goals differ.
Facility layouts vary.

Space constraints, feedstock, throughput requirements, and end markets all influence what the right solution looks like.

That's why successful recycling systems don't start with equipment. They start with engineering.

At eFACTOR3, systems engineering means understanding your operation first, then designing a tailored recycling or alternative fuel processing system that meets your goals from concept through commissioning.

If you're planning a new facility, expanding capacity, or rethinking an existing process, let's design a solution around your operation; not around a standard equipment list.

Next stop: Tennessee.

This Ecostar NHEXA is loaded up and headed to its new home.

Think a NHEXA could be a good fit for your operation? Let's talk.

Just another day putting the HEXTRA 7000 3F to work.

Municipal solid waste isn't exactly known for being consistent.

That's why this demo focused on producing three consistent fractions from one highly variable material stream.

With Ecostar's Dynamic Disc Screening technology, the HEXTRA is designed to keep material flowing while preparing it for more efficient downstream separation.

Interested in seeing what it could do for your operation? Let's talk.

18 years.
It's hard to believe eFACTOR3 is celebrating its 18th anniversary this week.

What started as an idea has grown into thousands of conversations, hundreds of projects, countless miles traveled, and relationships with customers and partners across North America.

We've had the privilege of helping recycling operations tackle new challenges, introduce new technologies, and build processing systems that create more value from waste. Along the way, we've also built an incredible team that shares the same passion for this industry every day.

To every customer who trusted us, every partner who stood alongside us, and every employee who has helped shape eFACTOR3 over the last 18 years—thank you.

We're proud of where we've been, but even more excited about where we're headed.
Here's to the next chapter.
