Sorting black plastics into pure grades closes recycling loops
Since 2011, STEINERT has been developing detection technology for very challenging sorting applications and providing forward-looking reference projects, which document that plastics and the environment are compatible.
Turning plastic residues into new goods - thanks to pure-grade separation
Plastic-processing companies in particular can therefore benefit from STEINERT products and separate plastic residues containing a high proportion of black content at large-scale industry level and then upgrade them to a plastic granulate with properties similar to those of the primary raw material in order for it to be used to manufacture durable quality products. This procedure means that a significant percentage of new plastics can be replaced with recycled materials today, thereby saving hundreds of thousands of tons of CO2 every year.
State-of-the-art technologies coupled with 130 years of process know-how allow international customers to combine cost-effectiveness with sustainability to comply with stricter legislation and the sense of responsibility demanded by society and therefore take one step closer to a genuinely closed resource cycle and more environmentally-sound future.
