Episode Synopsis

Send us a textJoin me for a fireside chat with SA Recycling’s George Adams & Sierra Recycling’s John Sacco live from ISRI 2024!In this episode we chat about:Cleaning up our act Why you lose $ when you stockpile Our biggest challenge as an industryWhen to collaborate with competitorsWhy there will be scrap shortages in the futureWHO IS STU KAGAN ANYWAYS?25 years in the metal recycling game and still learning and growing...I learnt from the best and worked my way up from yard labourer to Executive Director of Trading and Operations for the largest metal recycler in sub-Saharan Africa. Responsible for 4,500 employees, 85 sites, and the overall profitability of a multi-billion dollar operation.I brought my breadth and depth of knowledge to bear and co-founded the fastest growing, most-loved, and most awarded metal recycling company in New Zealand. No small feat in a country where people are outnumbered 4:1 by sheep (spoiler alert: sheep don’t produce much metal waste).I thought it was time that tech worked for our industry, so I took all of my experience as an operator and trader and leveraged that to build THE killer scrap app, Buddy. That’s right - built for scrappies, by scrappies.Father of two crazy-awesome boys. Husband to Lisa. Under 9 rugby coach. YPO member. Lifelong learner. Mentee. Mentor. Chief dog walker.
