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.

Aimed at those metal recyclers who shred and process end-of-life vehicles, household appliances and other metal wastes, it concerns the landfilling of metal shredder residue (MSR).

Of this, 35 million tons, or 92 percent, was used as building materials and fertilizers, as well as in other applications. This prevented the extraction of 40 million tons of natural rock and the emission of 11,4 million tons of CO2 across Europe. Between 2000 and 2024, this will amount to a total of 1.21 billion tons of natural rock and 319 million tons of CO2.

Europe's material footprint has been growing rapidly. In 2022, an average EU resident purchased over 32 kg of electrical and electronic equipment and 19 kg of textiles, and generated nearly 5 tonnes of waste.
