At recycling facilities, these batteries pass through several sorting stages before ending up in the ferrous metal fraction alongside other materials. Their small size, irregular shape, and mixed composition make reliable separation difficult. As a result, batteries contaminate metal streams, reduce material value, and increase fire risks during downstream processing.

The joint operation will provide services for large energy-storage and electric vehicle batteries. Its activities include transport, storage, dismantling and second-life assessment. The company states that it can process all battery chemistries.

The Micromat Series IV will be shown with a multicut rotor for processing materials such as big bags and textiles.

The combined event brings together stakeholders from the waste management, recycling, secondary raw materials and circular electronics sectors. With a single registration, visitors gain access to all four exhibitions and their associated conference programmes. Attendance for both the exhibition and conference is free of charge.

Hagerstown, Maryland-based Conservit Inc., which has been in business for more than 50 years, maintains a forward-looking attitude toward the metals recycling industry and the possibilities offered by sorting and other technological advances.

As an important supplier to the major Italian iron and steel groups, foundries and refineries, Cometfer is characterized by its know-how in the procurement of scrap materials coming from various industrial activities and productions. To further increase efficiency in scrap handling, Cometfer opted for the Sennebogen 825 E material. In addition to the 825 E, 8 other Sennebogen machines are in operation at Cometfer.

Aimplas is addressing this issue through innovative technologies such as physicochemical delamination, a combination of mechanical separation techniques, and enzymatic recycling. These approaches have enabled the efficient and sustainable recycling of multilayer waste, allowing it to be reintroduced into the value chain or used to produce new recycled plastic products.
