Plastics, compound materials, aluminium or tin plate as well glass has been subject to a special requirement since the packaging directive came into effect: The manufacturers, importers and distributors must take the packaging back after use and dispose of them in an environmentally benefi cial manner. Dual systems separately identify and collect them, and the known high rates for each material flow must be complied with during their use.

The handling of this type of waste requires state-of-the-art sorting plants with economic and efficient treatment technology to provide maximum purity. Sutco equipment has proven itself under all operational conditions to provide
high plant throughputs and efficient automated separation of different fractions.

This requirement has been met by proven sorting equipment such as trommel screens, magnetic separators, vision-sort devices, ballistic separators, eddy current separators etc.
