The paper industry worldwide is strongly committed to sustainability and the circular economy. This is reflected in high recycling rates as well as in the use of bioenergy and substitute fuels. The use of substitute fuels (RDF) is helping the paper industry to significantly reduce its consumption of coal, gas, and oil, and is having a positive impact on the utilization of non-recyclable waste materials. Many players in the paper industry create closed cycles within their companies by independently processing pulper ropes and paper rejects into RDF and using it directly for energy supply.

UNTHA shredding technology presents its latest product development: the UNTHA Power Core – an innovative power generator for the autarkic operation of the XR and ZR shredders.

Group Demain, based in France, recycles over 22,000 tonnes of hard plastics, electrical and electronic waste every year. The company opted for UNTHA ZR2400H and XR2000C shredders for its two processing lines. The company previously used an UNTHA RS100. When the company decided to expand its capacity and invest in two new plants, UNTHA was once again the first choice.

Environmental protection and the reduction of CO2 emissions are core issues for the Zuser Group. The company produces over 100,000 tons of substitute fuels (RDF) with a high energy content and degree of purity every year. The materials processed include commercial waste, lightweight packaging, used tires and rubber. Another focus is material recycling. The company sorts high-quality plastics such as PET and films as well as ferrous and non-ferrous metals from the waste and ensures that they are returned to the material cycle. The waste materials are processed using two UNTHA shredders.
