According to Suez Recycling S\u00fcd GmbH, Europe's most modern sorting plant for lightweight packaging has gone into operation. The plant is located in \u00d6lbronn in Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg. More than 30 million euros have been invested and 50 new jobs created, according to Suez.<\/p>\n

With the new Sorting plant<\/strong> it will be possible to produce large quantities of Light waste<\/strong> sorted into 14 different recyclable fractions. Nine different types of Plastic<\/strong> are recognised. Suez puts the facility's annual capacity at 100,000 tonnes. This corresponds to the annual volume of lightweight packaging of more than three million German citizens.<\/p>\n

\u201eThanks to efficient sorting, we are making a decisive contribution to a sustainable circular economy.\u201c
\nJochen Zickwolf<\/strong>, Managing Director of Suez Recycling S\u00fcd GmbH<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The good sorting performance is achieved by means of a largely Automated sorting technology<\/strong>. Among other things 21 camera-based near-infrared separators<\/strong> for automated sorting of recyclable materials. The sorted recyclables are automatically weighed and pressed.<\/p>

Deep bunker for 9,000 cubic metres of waste<\/h2>\n

The facility's special attraction is located underground. Eight metres deep is the 9,000 cubic metre reservoir. Deep bunker<\/strong>, which is used for the temporary storage of the delivered material. According to Suez, this solution was chosen because it is low-noise, low-odour and
\nis fireproof and ensures greater occupational safety thanks to a clear separation between delivery traffic, input management and plant loading. A Electric excavator<\/strong> collects an average of 200,000 yellow bags per day from the bunker and transports them to the more than 200 conveyor belts in the sorting hall.<\/p>\n

The operators have also paid particular attention to the Fire protection<\/strong> taken into account. For example, the deep bunker and sorting system are separated from each other by a firewall with an automatically closing firewall. In addition, the fire protection concept is designed so that so-called Hotspots<\/strong> can be automatically recognised and combated before large fires can even start.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Suez has put Europe's most modern sorting plant for light waste into operation in \u00d6lbronn.
