Stadler has opened a new office in Japan, expanding its presence in a market that is increasingly focused on material recovery and recycling. The move reflects growing demand for sorting technologies as operators seek to recover more recyclable materials from waste streams, particularly plastics and municipal waste.

Dieffenbacher presents recycling and energy solutions at IFAT 2026, focusing on fiberboard recycling, waste wood processing, Waste2Product and sustainable energy generation.

Capacity and operational profileRG Group has been active since 2019 and generated a turnover of around EUR 20 million in 2025. The company employs approximately 50 people. Its facilities currently process more than 20,000 tonnes per year of LDPE film, with the potential to increase capacity to over 35,000 tonnes annually. The acquisition strengthens GreenDot's position in the recycling of commercial and industrial polyethylene films.

The company will provide information on the effects of the drive on torque, throughput and process stability. In addition, WEIMA will exhibit the C.200 hydraulic press for dewatering and compacting packaging materials, metal chips, grinding sludge and sewage sludge.

The global transformation towards a climate-neutral economy requires a rapid expansion of technologies such as wind turbines, electromobility and automated production systems. A central element of these technologies are neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets, whose thermal performance is often improved by the addition of the heavy rare earth element dysprosium (Dy).

Metals and minerals form the basis of modern societies and are indispensable for tackling global challenges such as climate change, urbanization and technological transformation. And the demand for strategic metals is growing dynamically.

Lithium is the "white gold" of the energy transition. No other metal has gained so much importance in recent years, as it is indispensable for the production of lithium-ion batteries, which form the core of modern electric vehicles.
