Ten years later, Beckum Kunststoff Recycling GmbH, a cooperation with Otto Graf GmbH, built a second plant at this site, where coal was once stored for cement production. Today, sustainable recycled plastic is produced here, making it a great example of how the circular economy transforms historical industrial sites.<\/p>\n<p>The result is an ultra-modern sorting facility has been built to process plastics from mixed post-consumer packaging. Around two thirds of the input is polypropylene (PP) film; with the rest comprising polyethylene (PE) and a mix of polyolefins (PO), predominantly from pre-sorted material from post-consumer packaging facilities across Europe \u2013 from Austria to Norway.<\/p>\n<p>This precise flow of material permits a belt speed of 4.5 m\/s, which is essential to high throughput and cost-effective sorting, especially with awkward 2D materials. With plastic films in particular, they are thereby prevented from overlapping or twisting and only then can the combination of sensors from the near-infrared sensor (NIR) and colour camera be fully effective. This accurate form of data capture is required to reliably achieve the desired purity rate of 98 percent from PP film.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.recycling-magazine.com\/2025\/03\/31\/former-coal-store-becomes-a-sustainable-plastic-processing-facility\/\">Recycling Magazine<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/3-687\/\">Former coal store becomes a sustainable plastic processing facility<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,1038,18399],"class_list":["post-138723","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-germany","tag-plastic-processing"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138723","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138723"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138723\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138723"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138723"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138723"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
