      Recycling PVC polymers systematically

      A UK-based company specializing in the manufacture of PVC polymer products has specifically expanded its internal recycling capacities. The aim was to process bulky plastic waste directly on site and return it to the recycling cycle instead of disposing of it at great expense. Production waste and rejects are reduced to a defined size by shredding and then processed into granulate. This granulate can be directly reintegrated into the manufacturing process. The result of the project is a closed material cycle with measurable economic and ecological benefits.

      Heating with biomass: English furniture manufacturer turns waste wood into its own energy

      Production waste from wood processing does not necessarily incur high disposal costs. On the contrary, waste wood has enormous potential for energy recovery. A British furniture manufacturer, which produces large quantities of wood waste every day from offcuts, rejects, and various processing operations, recognized this opportunity.
      Instead of disposing of the material at great expense, the company opted for a sustainable approach: shredding the waste wood into usable wood chips, which are then used as fuel for biomass heating.
