A New Era For Film & Paper Sorting

In the last few years, MRFs and recycling plants have noticed a gradual increase in the complexity of the waste stream.

This is particularly visible in the case of light materials. As a result, operators are faced with increasingly floating objects in their sorting process which inevitably hurts sorting quality.

To address this issue, Pellenc ST's R&D teams joined forces to develop an innovative ejection hood dedicated to 2D sorting.

KESON Built Its MSW Recyclables Utilization Project in Henan, China as A Demonstration One

Recently, Keson Environment has provided an entire solid waste sorting system for the Comprehensive Utilization Center of MSW Recyclables and Renewable Resources in Henan, China.

The project has implemented the new national standard and reached the leading level of similar projects in terms of energy saving, environmental protection, safety, intelligence and data processing.

The processing object of this project is MSW recyclables, with a daily processing capacity of 110 tons, which is no less than 13.75 tons per hour based on 8 hours per day.

REDWAVE Launches Revolutionary XRF Fine Sorting Machine, setting new standards in performance and precision

REDWAVE, the world leader in XRF sensor-based sorting technology, proudly introduces a new generation of sorting machines. The cutting-edge REDWAVE XRF fine sorting machine sets new benchmarks for sorting fine materials in the metal recycling industry. It can accurately detect and sort a blend of non-ferrous metals starting from a size of 4 mm, to produce high-quality products such as pure copper, brass, zinc and precious metal fractions.

Recycling Post-Industrial Waste in the Textile Industry: A Circular Future

In a world grappling with environmental challenges, the textile industry is undergoing a pivotal transformation. Historically notorious for the incineration of post-industrial waste, contributing to environmental degradation, there is a significant shift towards more sustainable practices. Why is there an emphasis on recycling post-industrial waste? Earth.org’s alarming statistics reveal that the textile sector accounts for nearly 10% of all carbon emissions, with a staggering 85% of textiles ending up in landfills annually.
