Description

LIFE PST-SORT will demonstrate an innovative post-shredding technology that can recover secondary raw materials from ASR, with the goal of reducing landfill by around 60%. The project aims to achieve an 84% recovery rate for the full range of waste streams, including dark plastics, multilayer plastics, small metals (<20mm), metals dirtied with oil, and integrated circuit boards. Some 66% of the ASR will be recycled and 18% will be converted into refuse-derived fuel (RDF). The full-scale demonstration line will sort 8 tonnes/hour of ASR. The project will evaluate performance and potential for replication, invite stakeholders to see it in action and draw up a business plan for the European market. It will also pass on results to policy-makers in order for them to update the relevant parts of the waste treatment Best Available Techniques Reference document (BREF).
