Separation and Sorting Technology

Separation and sorting system manufacturers for waste handling and recycling applications

If there is one part of the recycling process that is not only complicated, but also hard, it is the part of separating and sorting the recyclables. Effective recycling relies on effective and efficient sorting. Separating the different elements found in waste streams is crucial for enabling the recovery of useful materials, minimizing the amount of material sent to landfill and allowing recyclable materials to find a new purpose. There is a wide range of sorting and separating technologies on the market today. Find manufacturers of separation and sorting systems in our Equipment Guide.
