Mechanical Recycling, also known as sorting and recovery, is a required and mandatory step for the development of waste2energy projects.
Waste contains valuable components and, as part of the EU directives on waste management, recovery processes are a mandatory and necessary step in any waste2energy project.
Recovering valuable components from the waste turns waste from a financial burden for a company or community into a financial gain with profit, often resulting in the initial funding method for a waste project.
Aside from the legislative necessity and the financial benefits from mechanical recycling, the processes of sorting and recovery are also mandatory to enable the further processing of the non-recoverable items in the waste via Chemical Recycling.
SophSys has a strong and unique partnership with a large Dutch developer of waste sorting facilities (mechanical recycling) that has a long history of success in Europe.
