Remove large contaminants (wood, metal, paper).

Turn old bottles directly into new ones. Remove large contaminants (wood, metal, paper)

Separates mixtures like PVC and PE based on electrical charges. 📈 Benefits of Resource Efficiency 📈 Benefits of Resource Efficiency Recycling uses up

Recycling uses up to 80% less energy than virgin plastic. Efficiency starts with accurate identification

Fewer fossil fuels extracted for production.

Vibrating screens that separate flat items from 3D objects.

Efficiency starts with accurate identification. Not all plastics are created equal. High value. Water bottles, food jars. HDPE (2): Highly recyclable. Milk jugs, shampoo bottles. PVC (3): Hard to recycle. Pipes, vinyl flooring. LDPE (4): Thin films. Grocery bags, bubble wrap. PP (5): Heat resistant. Yogurt cups, car parts. PS (6): Low value. Styrofoam, plastic cutlery. Other (7): Complex blends. Multilayer packaging. ⚙️ Optimized Sorting Methods To maximize efficiency, use a multi-stage sorting approach:
