INNOVATION

Bollegraaf and Broeckx Create Breakthrough in LDPE Recycling

Bollegraaf is building an innovative LDPE sorting plant for Broeckx Plastic Recycling in Esbeek (NL). In order to recycle LDPE in a high-quality way, together with Broeckx, Bollegraaf has developed a new way of sorting. Low-Density PolyEthylene (LDPE) is widely used in everyday life, such as in plastic bags and shrink wrap.

Currently, LDPE is lumped together after use in order to process further. The problem with this is that LDPE is not homogeneous and has to be processed in a different way. As a result, the LDPE is now only reused in low-value forms, such as a garbage bag, that will be incinerated after use.

CASE STUDY

Keson’s Waste Tire Disposal Solutions Help Customers Do Something with Growing Piles of Waste Tires and Realize Improved Profitability

According to the World Business Council for Sustainable Development’s (WBCSD) Tyre Industry Project (TIP), the world is projected to generate approximately one billion waste tires each year.

This development demands an increased focus on how to include waste tires in the circular economy to avoid illegal burning and landfills all over the world.

Keson has made the disposal and reuse of waste tires one of its main businesses since its inception and has experienced sustained interest in its solutions from customers around the world.

TECHNOLOGY

Advantages of Air Technology Solutions in Waste Management

Air technology for resource recovery offers numerous advantages that enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of modern waste management and recycling processes. One of the primary benefits is its ability to rapidly and accurately sort waste materials based on their physical properties, such as density and aerodynamic behaviour. This technology can quickly separate lighter materials like paper, plastic films, and other flexible plastics from heavier items such as metals and glass, significantly speeding up the sorting process and enabling high throughput, which is crucial for handling large volumes of waste in high-capacity facilities.

TOMRA Achieves Worldwide Industry First with Groundbreaking Food-Grade Plastics Sorting Solution

Leading global sorting solutions provider, TOMRA Recycling, has announced the launch of three revolutionary applications to separate food-grade from non-food-grade plastics for PET, PP and HDPE. The breakthrough was made possible by the company's intensive research and development in deep learning, a subset of AI.

Thanks to TOMRA’s continued investment in GAIN –the company’s deep learning-based sorting add-on for its world-renowned AUTOSORT™ units – it is now possible for the first time to quickly and efficiently separate food-grade from non-food-grade plastics for PET, PP and HDPE on a large scale.

Dry Polystyrene Recycling in The New Plastisavio Plant

The innovative dry polystyrene recycling process in the new Plastisavio plant in Bertinoro, Italy, is a revolutionizing and significantly more efficient process from WEE with numerous advantages over traditional water-based sorting plants. With this dry treatment approach, the processing plant not only reduces waste but also achieves substantial energy savings, resulting in an environmental and economical sustainable processing line. | Read more »

Vecoplan Enters Into Strategic Partnership in the Field of Plastic Recycling

Vecoplan supports processors in implementing the circular economy. Europe wants to be climate-neutral by 2050. The circular economy for plastics makes an important contribution. The core element of the EU directive on packaging and packaging waste is the recycling rate. By 2025, member states must recycle at least 65% of their packaging waste. By 2030, the quota will increase to 70 percent. | Read more »
