Fully Recyclable, Enormously Energy Efficient and Ready for Carsharing: Noah
/in Frontpage Article, Processing Methods /by msv2016The circular economy was a leading concept during his design process: According to his developers at the Eindhoven University of Technology, Noah now represents the world’s first circular and fully recyclable car. The two-seater is running entirely on electricity; his chassis, body panels and interior are made from a bio-composite with flax as the main […]
Looking for Deinkable UV Ink
/in Frontpage Article, Processing Methods /by msv2016As most cross-linked inks create problems in the recycling process, new ideas are in demand. Therefore, the International Association of the Deinking Industry (INGEDE) and ink manufacturer hubergroup intend to start a research project. According to INGEDE, other than traditional offset and gravure inks, most cross-linked inks are difficult to remove from the paper fibers […]
New Method for Cleansing Waste Products and Reusing Resources
/in Frontpage Article, Processing Methods /by msv2016Finnish-based Fortum Group has developed – through its recycling and waste solutions unit – a new method called the Multi-Purpose On-site Phase Separator (MOPS). According to the information, the technology removes pollutants from strongly contaminated soil, hazardous waste and waste incineration residues “in an effective way with minimal harm to the environment”. At the same […]
New Method to Treat Plastic Waste
/in Frontpage Article, Processing Methods /by msv2016The first systems to use anaerobic digestion technology in order to turn waste plastics into energy and fertilizer are being developed in South Australia. According to the information provided by www.theleadsouthaustralia.com.au, the plastic to energy technology had so far successfully been applied to polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene and expanded polystyrene. However, the anaerobic digestion process varied […]

Refrigerators: New Plant Concepts Detect Blowing Agents
/in Frontpage Article, Processing Methods /by msv2016The share of halogen-free refrigerants and blowing agents is increasing in the disposal of cooling devices. In Europe, since 1996 no refrigerators have been produced with halogen-containing refrigerants and blowing agents (CFCs). Accordingly, the share of alternative refrigerants and blowing agents is rapidly increasing during disposal. In most German waste disposal plants, the share of […]
A New Treatment Plant for China
/in Frontpage Article, Processing Methods /by msv2016The mechanical biological treatment (MBT) plant for municipal solid waste (MSW) in Lianyungang is under construction. The completion is scheduled for the end of 2017. More than 200 waste-to-energy (WtE) plants are operating in China nowadays. One of them in the City of Lianyungang, Shandong Province north of Shanghai, will be complemented by a pre-treatment […]
Awarded Waterox Executes Total Purification of Toxic Industrial Wastewater
/in Frontpage Article, Processing Methods /by msv2016Aquarden Technologies ApS, based in danish Skævinge, has developed Waterox. The Waterox process completely destroys problematic substances in wastewater from industries directly at the source. This type of plant is the first of its kind in Denmark. It is also one of the first in the world that can transform toxic industrial wastewater to pure […]
Enerkem‘s Four-Step Thermochemical Process Goes Commercial
/in Frontpage Article, Processing Methods /by msv2016In less than five minutes, waste-to-biofuels and chemicals producer Enerkem‘s technology turns household waste into 99.9 percent pure liquid chemicals and biofuels. In Enerkem’s system, different feedstocks – solid waste coming from several municipalities and other types of residue – are converted into methanol, ethanol or other renewable chemicals. In turn, methanol is a chemical […]
