— By Plasteurope.com staff —
The environmental division of utility company Iren (Reggio Emilia, Italy; www.gruppoiren.it/en) said it has installed a sorting plant for mixed waste in Borgaro Torinese, Italy. With a processing capacity of 100,000 t/y, it is the largest of its kind on the Apennine Peninsula, according to technology supplier Stadler (Altshausen, Germany; www.stadler-engineering.com).
The company said the new plant on the outskirts of Turin can separate 17 types of plastics, aluminium, and ferrous metals. Around 80% of the input material can then be fed into the circular economy.
