The recycling of industrial and commercial waste should and must be of ever higher quality, entirely in the sense of a sustainable materials cycle. Companies must adapt their waste management accordingly. Commercial waste, for example, is to be separated at the same place where it is generated. The documentation requirement has also been extended.
Commercial municipal waste can be very similar to private household waste. There is paper, biomass, glass, metals, textiles, packaging, residual waste and films. One major difference, however, is the treatment of hazardous waste. Most material streams, whether they are recycled or thermally recovered, must first be shredded in one or more stages. This requires particularly robust machines, as foreign materials such as stones, sand and metals may be present. WEIMA offers the right shredders for this first process step: shredding. With a variety of large rotor widths, many heavy-duty options and drive concepts have been especially designed for these applications. Of course, we also offer complete plant systems from a single source. The result: safely and cleanly processed, homogeneous material streams. These are made usable as refuse derived fuel (RDF) or solid recovered fuel (SRF) for the cement industry, pre-processing or co-processing.
