Polish recyclers challenged
by EU 2020 targets
Although the economy of Poland has seen spectacular
growth over the past decade, the collection infrastructure
is still underdeveloped. New multi-billion Euro funding
from the EU is expected to roll in from 2016 and this
could well help bring about the necessary change.
Smarter technology to
boost recycling numbers
Materials complexity is ‘a great concern’ for the global
recycling industry, said Dr Gert Homm at the Recycling
Technik trade show in Dortmund. Less than 1% of high-
capacity critical metals like indium are being recycled.

Saving yachts from marine ‘graveyards’ / 18
While the term ‘end-of-life vehicles’ is a common one in recycling industry
circles, ‘end-of-life boats’ has yet to achieve similar prominence. And yet it
is a market with big potential: around 40 million leisure boats are currently
moored in harbours around the globe. ‘Manufacturing of leisure cra saw a
turnover of EUR 45 billion last year,’ said Udo Kleinitz at e Future of Yacht
Recycling congress, held recently in the Dutch capital of Amsterdam.

regime’, the country’s containerboard production is ‘going
through the roof’, said Riku Kallio of consultancy firm
Pöyry at the annual Paper Recycling Conference Europe.

BEFORE…
A revolutionary small sized hammer mill newly designed from the ground up, using the latest technologies to maximise both density and
value from today’s scrap. Robust hammers downsize a variety of scrap to maximise the density of the ferrous metals, while downstream
separation technologies effectively remove up to 99% of all valuable non-ferrous metals. Built on its own sturdy, vibration reducing frame,
the Taurus Red Mill is simple to relocate and does not require expensive foundations. Solidly manufactured to last, while still remaining
simple to maintain and above all simple to operate. Contact us to view a demonstration.
TAURUS RED MILL,
NEW VALUE FOR YOUR SCRAP.
