C&D World Technology Forum

VIABLY

The C&D processing industry is evolving, and operators are demanding better recovery rates, greater flexibility, and true turnkey solutions—but are the usual players keeping up? This session will introduce a new approach to C&D plant integration, leveraging Viably’s deep industry expertise and commitment to customized solutions. Learn how this fresh alternative to traditional integrators solves real-world challenges, improves recovery, and offers tailored solutions that integrate the best available technologies, rather than relying solely on proprietary equipment.

Speaker: Brandon Lapsys, President, Viably

MACHINEX

In this brief presentation, Machinex will discuss how AI and optical sorting can be applied in C&D operations in conjunction with more traditional sorting equipment to enhance targeted material recovery without adding to headcount. The operational focus includes discussion of the importance of performing the needed size, density, and other physical characteristic separation prior to using the high-tech tools to target specific commodities. Machinex recognizes having the proper “toolbox” approach to C&D operations, and will cover a range of different tools in that box that are critical for success.

Speaker: Will Herzog, West Coast Sales Manager, Machinex Technologies

SAINT-GOBAIN/CERTAINTEED

RenuCore by CertainTeed is an innovative pelletizing technology that recycles post-industrial and post-consumer asphalt shingles, including the aggregate and fiberglass, to soften the oxidized asphalt back to a performance grade suitable for paving. It provides HMA producers and C&D waste facilities with a sustainable product solution to reduce landfill waste, minimize reliance on virgin materials, and reduce costs. Attendees will learn how using the RenuCore technology in HMA offers equivalent pavement performance, higher recycled content, easier material storage, and a reduced environmental impact, all while supporting a circular economy for asphalt shingles. Additionally, participants will gain insights about the company’s circular economy approach to reduce waste and virgin raw material through improving industry collaboration, infrastructure development, recycling opportunities, and product design.

Speaker: Maure Creager, Economy Manager, CertainTeed

STARLIGHT SOFTWARE

Starlight will discuss streamlining hauling and recycling facility operations. We'll highlight the benefits of managing hauling, scale, and grading operations in one platform with the power of reporting and automation.

Speaker: Adam Taworoski, Regional Sales Manager, Starlight Software Solutions

STEINERT

STEINERT will cover the advanced equipment available for sorting valuable non-ferrous metals and A-grade wood commodities in the C&D INDUSTRY. For non-ferrous metal sorting, eddy current separators are a great way to capture high-value materials without large investment when it comes to sorting A-grade wood optical sorters are employed to capture the material without the need for hand sorting. The key benefits of these sorting solutions include high accuracy, increased recovery rates and yields, improved material quality and value, and reduced labor costs.

Speaker: Tim Barry, Market Manager, STEINERT

TOMMY CARTS

During his time, Ryan will be discussing how TOMMYcarts have REVOLUTIONIZED the way construction waste is removed from job sites.

Speaker: Ryan Fitzpatrick, Director of Business Development, Richard S. Burns & Co.

VAN DYK RECYCLING SOLUTIONS

During his presentation, Mark Neitzey will be reviewing the latest in solutions for processing C&D and other waste streams.

Speaker: Mark Neitzey, Director of Sales, Van Dyk Recycling Solutions

VERMEER CORPORATION

Operating costs throughout the lifecycle of equipment can often overshadow the initial investment. Understanding the factors that influence operating costs can lead to more productive and cost-effective operations. Join Vermeer for a discussion on innovations that can reduce operating cost regardless of the technology provider.

Speaker: Ted Dirkx, Recycling Sales Manager, Vermeer Corporation

VISIA

In this session, Raghav Mecheri, CEO of Visia, will share how AI is transforming the C&D industry’s approach to safety and efficiency. With the rise of batteries and other hazards in C&D material streams, waste processors face significant safety risks, including fires and equipment damage. Raghav will discuss how AI-driven solutions, such as the Visia platform, help facilities identify and safely manage hazardous materials before they pose a threat. He’ll also discuss how Visia’s AI material classification can automate LEED compliance for yards.

Speaker: Raghav Mecheri, CEO, Visia
