Maximum efficiency with minimised resource use – a milestone in the plastic recycling industry

Baseline Situation

  • For a leading waste management company, a standard system was not feasible: limited space, no direct wastewater connection, and minimal water use required.

  • The goal was to process 100% film content at over 1,500 kg/h while ensuring high-quality recyclate.

  • A tailor-made, energy-efficient solution was needed to combine efficiency, resource savings, and economic benefit.
