REDWAVE and Skapa set new standards in aluminium recycling
Skapa Recycling GmbH has announced progress in aluminium recycling in light of collaboration with REDWAVE. By using technologies and optimised processes, they maximise the recyclability of aluminium cans while reducing their environmental impact.
Skapa process collected used drinks cans in a modern processing plant in eastern Austria. The end product, cleaned and briquetted UBC, is tied up on pallets and delivered to specialised can alloy manufacturers throughout Europe.
The technology sorts aluminium cans according to their chemical composition. This enables precise and efficient processing, which significantly improves the recycling process and maximises the recovery of recyclable materials. “The can waste we receive is first shredded, then divided into different fractions and thoroughly cleaned of impurities,” explains Skalnik. “The integration of the REDWAVE XRF sorting machine into our operational processes marks a significant step forward. This innovative technology enables us to significantly increase the efficiency and precision of our recycling process and thus substantially increase recycling rates.”
Partnership and technological innovation
“Our collaboration with REDWAVE and the use of the REDWAVE XRF sorting machine takes the recycling of aluminium to a new level,” says Skalnik. This co-operation is an important step towards a more sustainable future.
