Services in analytics & technology consulting

Determining the separability of plastic mixtures, the quality and quantity of the expected recyclables are indispensable for the economic efficiency of recycling processes. We investigate and evaluate plastic mixtures with regard to separability and recyclability of valuable materials, assess the performance of separation processes and provide support through technological feasibility studies and economic feasibility studies.
