Sustainability and added

Resource
scarcity, environmental degradation, and climate change demand a new approach
to sustainable business. The
solution is a circular economy in which waste is repurposed as a valuable raw
material. For
profitable recycling, material purity is essential.
Our
intelligent technologies and services help recycling companies to
profitably produce secondary raw materials of the highest quality. Material
cycles are closed.
Sustainability, environmental protection, and profit go hand in hand.
Many materials can be recycled to create new, high-quality products.
However, the purity of the material is crucial to efficient recycling. Our
detection, separation and sorting systems remove contaminants and separate mixed material
flows into homogeneous, unmixed fractions. By doing so, they facilitate a high
degree of material quality and profitable recycling. Material analysis systems can be used to
precisely determine the purity of plastic flakes.
With our versatile range of equipment, we can install detection, separation, or sorting equipment at precisely the process stage where it can make the biggest impact on product quality, plant availability, and material recovery rates. All from a single source!
Higher material quality and greater added value: In order to recycle glass and metal economically, the recyclable material that is collected must have a high degree of purity. Our separation and sorting systems precisely remove contaminants and separate material flows into homogeneous, unmixed fractions. Recycling rates of up to 100 per cent are possible with our systems for applications that involve recycling used glass and some plastics.
Our systems sort the following materials, among others:
Blue Competence is an
initiative of the VDMA (www.vdma.org) to promote sustainability in mechanical
and plant engineering, but also to make sustainable solutions known to the
industry. With our partnership, we commit ourselves to adhering to the 12
sustainability principles of mechanical and plant engineering
(www.bluecompetence.net/about).
The plastics industry is under pressure. Between climate change, excessive consumption of finite resources, and vast amounts of plastic waste in the world’s oceans, plastics are coming to be seen in a different light by politicians, businesses, and consumers alike. Read in our e-book about the most important factors of a functioning circular economy, especially which challenges and opportunities exist for recyclers and plastics processors.
Which building blocks are necessary for a closed-loop plastic circular economy and which important parameters there are to close the loop, we will go into in the second part of the
"Circular Economy"
article series.
Foreign materials posed the biggest challenge to the new plant.
Contaminants such as ceramics, stones, porcelain (CSP), metals, paper,
and plastics comprise as much as 15 to 20% of the total weight of all
collected glass waste. To overcome this challenge, KRS supplied a
sorting system that meets these requirements.
In a plant equipped with stateof-the-art (sorting) technology, Futurapet recycles plastic waste. The secondary raw materials obtained are returned to the plastics processing industry. When Futurapet was founded, General Manager Oğuz Engin and his t eam were looking for innovative solutions that efficiently deliver high-quality end products.

Mission PET sees the circular economy mission in the consistent implementation of PET recycling. The bandwidth for the use of recycled PET material is diverse. However, only high-purity rPET material also meets the requirements that correspond to those of virgin material. The demands placed on the recycling process for preparing the PET material are correspondingly high. Best decontamination and material cleaning of the PET starting material are the prerequisites for maximum purity of the end product.
