What does it take to process plastic waste that constantly changes in shape, size and composition? ♻️ At GESVASA, the material stream is anything but predictable—from bulky canisters and buckets to plastic twine and mixed industrial plastics. So how can one shredding system handle these different materials, reduce volume efficiently and prepare up to 4,000 tonnes of plastic waste per year for further recycling? Take a closer look at the solution behind GESVASA’s flexible recycling process: https://lnkd.in/eqbnc9ZQ {hashtag|#|WEIMA} {hashtag|#|shredding} {hashtag|#|plasticrecycling}

Rejected cans are part of beverage production. The real question is what happens next. At New Belgium Brewing, a WEIMA G.200 dewatering press helps turn production rejects into recyclable material. Underfilled, overfilled, or damaged cans are dewatered and compressed into aluminum discs, with around 12,000 to 20,000 cans processed per shift. The result: less volume, cleaner handling, easier recycling, and valuable material that can be returned to the cycle. ♻️ {hashtag|#|WEIMA} {hashtag|#|recycling}

The real cost of used pallets is not the wood. It is the space, handling and logistics around them. For many companies, used wooden pallets quickly become a logistics problem. They take up valuable space, are costly to handle and often leave the site without their remaining material value being fully utilized. A shredder changes that process at the source. By reducing pallets directly on site, bulky waste becomes a compact and manageable material stream that is easier to store, transport and process further. ✅ The shredded wood can be prepared for recycling, energy recovery or other downstream applications, while metal components such as nails and screws can be separated from the material flow. That is where the right shredding concept makes the difference. 👉 Learn more about pallet shredding: https://lnkd.in/e9TjJwKB {hashtag|#|WEIMA} {hashtag|#|Shredding} {hashtag|#|WoodRecycling} {hashtag|#|PalletRecycling}

7 million briquettes from production residues. ♻️ At Elopak in Denmark, paper dust and carton offcuts are compacted with a WEIMA TH 714 briquetting press and turned into a valuable energy source. The briquettes are used in a local combined heat and power plant to generate district heating. 🔥 A smart way to give production waste a second life. {hashtag|#|WEIMA} {hashtag|#|briquetting} {hashtag|#|recycling}

What happens before textile waste can become a valuable raw material again? ♻️ The answer is more complex than simply shredding old garments. For @[Carbios](urn:li:organization:11060555) WEIMA developed an integrated solution designed to prepare challenging polyester textile waste for an innovative enzymatic recycling process. ♻️ But how do shredding, metal separation and precise material preparation work together and why is consistency so critical for the next recycling step? Find out how the complete system works and what makes this recycling approach so promising: https://lnkd.in/ergwwWy6 {hashtag|#|WEIMA} {hashtag|#|shredding} {hashtag|#|textilerecycling}

What if production waste could heat your entire operation? 🔥 At Bropack Bronner Packmittel, damaged pallets, packaging and residual wood are no longer seen as waste. They are transformed into a valuable source of energy. A WEIMA WLK 1500 shredder processes the wood residues into consistent wood chips. These are then used to supply heat for Bropack’s drying chambers and its new office building, supporting greater energy independence, efficient material use and more sustainable production. ♻️ {hashtag|#|WEIMA} {hashtag|#|shredding} {hashtag|#|wood} {hashtag|#|recycling}

Large-scale recycling requires more than powerful machines. It requires every component to work as one. That is exactly what happens at KENT in South Korea, where one of the largest plants WEIMA has ever delivered is transforming mixed waste into RDF for waste-to-energy applications. 🔥♻️ The complete line integrates the three WEIMA shredders M8.28, W8.30 PowerLine, and W8.30 FineCut into a coordinated process designed for high performance, flexibility, and reliable material preparation. Together with @[SPALECK GmbH & Co. KG](urn:li:organization:6558823) and @[Westeria](urn:li:organization:6142682) WEIMA has created a solution that combines German engineering expertise with the demands of the Korean recycling market. 🇰🇷 See the complete process in action, from pre-shredding through screening and sorting to secondary shredding. 💪 {hashtag|#|WEIMA} {hashtag|#|shredding} {hashtag|#|recycling}

♻️ Aus Kunststoff wird ein ganz persönliches Andenken! 🌱✨ Am 11. Juli 2026 waren wir beim Heilbronner Kinderfest im Wertwiesenpark mit dabei. 🎉 Mehr als 70 Vereine und Institutionen sorgten mit kostenlosen Angeboten rund um Sport, Basteln, Tanzen und Bildung für ein abwechslungsreiches Programm für die ganze Familie. 🤸‍♀️🎨 Gemeinsam mit den Entsorgungsbetrieben der @[Stadt Heilbronn](urn:li:organization:9389303) haben zwei unserer Kolleginnen Kindern und Jugendlichen die Themen Abfall, Entsorgung und Recycling spielerisch nähergebracht. ♻️ An unserem Stand konnten die Kinder selbst aktiv werden: Kunststoff zerkleinern, einschmelzen und anschließend in eine Form pressen. ⚙️🔥 So entstand Schritt für Schritt ein eigenes Andenken zum Mitnehmen – und gleichzeitig ein besseres Verständnis dafür, wie aus einem vermeintlichen Abfallstoff etwas Neues entstehen kann. 💚 Wir haben uns sehr über die vielen interessierten Familien und neugierigen Kinder gefreut. Für WEIMA ist es wichtig, in der Region präsent zu sein und schon junge Menschen für Nachhaltigkeit, Recycling und einen verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit Ressourcen zu begeistern. 🌍🌱 Ein herzliches Dankeschön geht an die Stadt Heilbronn und insbesondere an Beate Fuchs aus der Abteilung Abfallwirtschaft für die Einladung und die tolle Zusammenarbeit! 🙌 {hashtag|#|WEIMA} {hashtag|#|HeilbronnerKinderfest} {hashtag|#|KinderfestHeilbronn} {hashtag|#|Recycling} {hashtag|#|Nachhaltigkeit} {hashtag|#|Kreislaufwirtschaft} {hashtag|#|Abfallwirtschaft}

This is circular economy in action ♻️ At Dansk Emballage in Denmark, used IBC containers are transformed into valuable raw material with the help of a WEIMA W5.18 single-shaft shredder. An integrated water injection system pre-cleans the material during shredding, reducing contamination and significantly lowering fire risk. Together with granulation and friction washing, the process delivers high-quality recyclate ready for a new life. ✅ Today, 35% of the recycled material is already used to produce new IBC containers, showing how circular economy works in practice. 💪 {hashtag|#|WEIMA} {hashtag|#|Recycling} {hashtag|#|Shredding} {hashtag|#|CircularEconomy}

Shredding is only half the story. For many applications, combining shredding with briquetting can make the entire recycling process more efficient. After the material is shredded, it is compressed into dense briquettes, making it easier to handle, store, transport, and prepare for further recycling. In this video, the process is carried out with a WEIMA WLK 1500 shredder and a WEIMA TH 1200 briquetting press. Together, they illustrate how the individual processing steps can be combined into one continuous solution to go from bulky foam waste to compact briquettes. {hashtag|#|WEIMA} {hashtag|#|Shredding} {hashtag|#|Briquetting} {hashtag|#|Recycling}

Why compress metal waste into briquettes just to shred it again? ♻️ At first glance, it seems counterintuitive. But in many recycling processes, briquetting and shredding serve two very different purposes. Briquetting helps reduce storage and transportation costs, but briquettes can contain different grades of material or even mixed metal fractions. By shredding them again, recyclers can separate, sort, and refine the material stream more effectively, ultimately improving the quality and value of the recovered metals. 📈 {hashtag|#|WEIMA} {hashtag|#|shredding} {hashtag|#|recycling}

Some things get better with age. Others become great throwback material. 👀 We recently stumbled across a photo from one of our very first trade shows and of course, we had to share it. A lot has changed since then, but that's what makes these old photos so interesting. They capture a moment in time when we were trying new things and shaping the identity of our machines. 😁 Now it's your turn: What does this design remind you of? 🏁 {hashtag|#|WEIMA} {hashtag|#|recycling} {hashtag|#|ThrowbackThursday}

Bronze deserves more than third place. 🥉 Metal chips are a natural by-product of machining processes. Especially with valuable materials like bronze, recovering and recycling these chips is essential. The WEIMA TH 700 M briquetting press compresses loose bronze chips into compact, high-density briquettes, making handling, storage, and transportation more efficient. At the same time, valuable cutting fluids can be recovered and returned to the process, while the densified material achieves a higher recycling value. ♻️ {hashtag|#|WEIMA} {hashtag|#|recycling} {hashtag|#|briquetting} {hashtag|#|metal}

What if your shredder could tell the difference between a real threat and a tough challenge? That’s exactly what WEIMA’s Smart Foreign Object Detection is designed to do. The system detects foreign objects and contaminants within milliseconds, helping protect the shredder from costly damage and minimizing unplanned downtime before it occurs. 🛠️ But smart detection is only part of the story. Instead of stopping the machine whenever resistance increases, the system can distinguish actual contaminants from demanding yet processable materials. This prevents unnecessary interruptions and keeps material flowing through the process. The result: greater equipment protection, higher uptime, and a more efficient shredding operation. ✅ {hashtag|#|WEIMA} {hashtag|#|Shredding} {hashtag|#|Recycling} {hashtag|#|ProcessOptimization} {hashtag|#|IndustrialAutomation}

Recycling is hard work but ... the right technology makes it easier. ♻️ At REMONDIS in Röstånga, Sweden, a WEIMA PowerLine 2500 single-shaft shredder processes different types of HDPE pipes efficiently and reliably, turning bulky waste into valuable recyclable material.
