IRION develops a circular green hydrogen value chain by improving recycling of critical materials in PEM electrolysers across Europe.

The safety package combines artificial intelligence, camera and radar systems with automated machine intervention. Key components include the Smart All-Around Viewing Monitor (SAVM), collision risk alerts and an Emergency Stop (E-Stop) system developed for excavators.

Once material starts to stick, the buildup can be fast and dense, slowing the whole process flow, causing spillages and secondary blockages, and eventually resulting in unscheduled downtime.  And that can also mean risk, as the temptation to find a quick way to remove blockages, without the proper risk assessment, safe access, tools or training, can lead to workers making unsafe decisions.

This year the Global Recycling Foundation is focusing on #RecyclingHeroes - celebrating individuals, communitites and organisations which are leading the way in sustainable practices.

Under the umbrella of Styrenics Circular Solutions (SCS), Tomra has recently completed tests revealing that polystyrene (PS) is not only made for recycling, but also made for sorting.
