Salzgitter AG and Umicore‘s business unit MDS (Metal Deposition Solutions) have jointly established a process that enables the recovery of the rare precious metal iridium from anodes used in the continuous electro-galvanizing process. In this way, the partners are contributing to resource conservation and the circular economy.
As the drive to improve recycling efficiency intensifies, increasing attention is being paid to keeping dust in the process flow. And controlling particulates is not only good for workplace health and compliance; it’s better for plant resilience, productivity and the bottom line, too.
EREMA and the Arvind Mehta Technology & Entrepreneurship Centre (AMTEC) of the The All India Plastics Manufacturers Association (AIPMA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) during a formal...
Hosokawa Alpine has developed a new solution for the sustainable recycling of textile waste. The Augsburg-based machine and plant manufacturer is thus setting standards in textile shredding and making it possible to reuse textile waste efficiently and in a resource-saving manner.
Nowadays, machines have to do more than ever before: rising energy prices, variable materials and growing demands on efficiency and operational reliability are currently presenting the mechanical engineering industry with enormous challenges. Technology leader Vecoplan laid the foundation for making processes more efficient through digital control technology with the Vecoplan Smart Center (VSC) as a digital control platform.
As e-waste volumes surge and demand for high-purity recycled materials accelerates, weeeSwiss Technology AG identifies key trends shaping the industry.
Komatsu has equipped its latest compact wheel loader with multiple loader linkage options to create one of the most versatile products on the market in the 10 t-weight class.
Aluminium dross, a by-product of aluminium processing, poses a considerable challenge in the recycling process due to its heterogeneous composition of metallic aluminium and oxides.
Around 7 mio. t of textiles are disposed of in Europe every year – only a small proportion of these are actually reused, recycled, or recovered as raw materials. A new EU directive will require member states to collect and dispose of old clothes and textiles separately from 2025 onwards, rather than disposing of them with residual waste as has been the case up to now.
