Shredder Quartet for Aufderhaar Kunststof Recycling in the Netherlands

For the processing of post-consumer waste (PE) and flowerpots (PP), the Veolia Nederland subsidiary Aufderhaar Kunststof Recycling in Vroomshoop uses no less than four large WEIMA shredders for secondary shredding. The resulting regranulate is then reused for the production of packaging material.

As part of Veolia Nederland B.V., Aufderhaar Kunststof Recycling B.V. has taken a firm place in the field of plastics recycling. Fifteen workers are employed in an area of approximately 11,000m2. The company mainly recycles polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP).

Recycling of automotive shredder residues (ASR) – clean plastics

In the past, when recycling electronic waste, cars and many other “end-of-life products”, it was important to recover the valuable metal fractions as completely as possible. This has changed due to the European Commission’s binding target of using at least 25% recycled plastics in new vehicles. In order to meet this target, additional recycling processes will be necessary in the future. | Read more »
