Closing the Loop for PET Trays
Tray-to-tray recycling is becoming a recognized approach for advancing circularity in plastic packaging, especially for food-grade applications. The PET tray stream has long been underutilized: around one million tons enter the EU market each year, yet about 70% is still lost. Recent EU legislation such as the SUPD and PPWR is now driving change and […]
Fire Reduction by Employing AI
The German company Korn Recycling has reduced a major safety risk in its sorting plant in Albstadt: fires caused by improperly disposed lithium-ion batteries. Battery.Sort by WeSort.AI provides preventive protection for sorting facilities. As reported by the provider, the AI-powered Battery.Sort solution from Würzburg-based company WeSort.AI was integrated into the commercial waste sorting facility earlier […]
Technological Upgrade in Colombia
Holcim Colombia and Geocycle have modernized and expanded their co-processing platform in Nobsa, Boyacá. This technological upgrade, backed by a two-million-dollar investment, would enable the transformation of more than 100,000 tons of waste per year into a sustainable energy source. The alternative fuels are derived from waste materials such as paper, cardboard, plastics, and biomass […]
Sunnking Sustainable Solutions enhanced Capacity
To increase its recycling capacity, the New York-based company Sunnking Sustainable Solution was seeking a robust shredder with a high throughput rate that could quickly and efficiently produce a homogeneous output material, particularly suitable for shredding electronic scrap. It also needed to be possible to adjust the speed and torque for process optimization. Now the […]
