This unique combination enables the highly efficient recycling of heavily contaminated materials with different bulk densities. These range from film to regrind with cellulose contaminants such as paper, rubber or silicones, which is processed to make high-quality recyclates.
Post-consumer material, especially household packaging waste, was previously considered to be plastic which is difficult to recycle due to the fluctuations in quality of the materials, including for example the type of contaminant and the respective different degree of contamination.
EREMA developed the INTAREMA TVEplus system especially for this type of plastics processing which, with a market share of over 80 per cent in Europe, has managed to gain a clear edge over its competitors.
"This unique combination is particularly suitable for material with a high degree of contamination when conventional melt filters are no longer able to deliver the necessary cleaning efficiency," said Manfred Hackl, CEO of the EREMA Group. "The INTAREMA TVEplus and Laserfilter open up new sales markets for our customers in the post-consumer sector for their high-quality recyclates and products."
"The amount of unwashed scrap film with paper labels, for example from commercial waste, HDPE from household waste or WEEE waste in China is high," added James Qiu, CEO of EREMA China.
"Current developments in terms of increased investment in the expansion of sorting and collection systems are also encouraging. With regard to cost-effectiveness and sustainability it makes sense – parallel to this – to use high-performance recycling technologies which can make valuable secondary raw material, i.e. recyclates, even out of heavily contaminated input."
