RECYCLING

The goal of this industry is to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills or incinerators and to recover materials that can be reused.

To achieve this, recycling machines are used to separate and process waste materials, transforming them into new-generation raw materials that can be reintegrated into various production processes.

Different types of recycling machines exist, each used based on the materials they handle. These include crushers, granulators, shredders, and magnetic separators. Recycling machines can be divided into two main categories: mechanical and chemical.

Mechanical recycling machines work primarily by physically separating materials. An example is plastic recycling machines, which use rotating blades and sieves to separate different types of plastic based on density and composition.
Chemical recycling machines, on the other hand, operate by decomposing materials into their basic molecular elements, allowing them to be reprocessed for new production cycles.

Using recycling machinery is essential for reducing waste volume and promoting a circular economy, where discarded materials are regenerated into new resources. Recycling plays a crucial role in environmental sustainability by reducing the overall amount of waste that ends up in the environment. Instead of relying on new raw materials, recycling focuses on repurposing existing materials, helping minimize environmental impact.
