Methane report omits Waste-to-Energy
The WtE+X Knowledge Alliance highlights the missing role of Waste-to-Energy in methane mitigation in the 2025 UN Global Methane Status Report and calls for clearer definitions and criteria.
Advanced C&D Recycling Facility in Northern Ireland
At the centre of the installation are six Mistral+ CONNECT™ Full Package optical sorters. These units are configured to recover rigid plastics, flexible plastics, brown cardboard and wood from mixed CD&I waste streams. The system architecture allows for software-based upgrades of sensors and sorting technologies to adapt to evolving operational requirements.
CEFLEX supports EU recycling standards
The EN18120 series is based on an extensive standardisation process involving stakeholders from across the packaging value chain. It provides a common reference for aligning design criteria, supporting comparability and enabling implementation of recycling solutions at scale.
Food-Grade Film Recycling Enters Pilot Phase
Nextek and Coveris commission COtooCLEAN plant for food-grade film recycling, enabling industrial trials and regulatory data generation in the UK.
TSR and BASF Expand Battery Recycling Network
TSR Group and BASF expand EV battery recycling in Europe, covering dismantling, black mass production and logistics to strengthen circular value chains.
CP Group acquires stake in Recycleye
CP Group has acquired a majority stake in Recycleye to expand its portfolio of AI-driven sorting systems for material recovery facilities. The transaction is intended to strengthen the integration of artificial intelligence into sorting processes and plant control while enhancing data availability for operators.
NIR sorting performance monitoring advances
Cooperation between STEINERT and Eggersmann enables NIR sorting performance monitoring with real-time data analysis to reduce losses and optimise recycling processes.
Plastic bale prices soar in southern Europe
The price rises come alongside comparatively stable prices in northwest Europe (NWE), creating a large disparity between the two regions and placing significantly more pressure on the margins of recyclers sourcing material from southern Europe. While higher virgin prices give many recycled pellet sellers more room to negotiate, whether they will be able to pass higher costs on to end users in full remains to be seen.
New Finder metal recovery platform
Tomra Recycling introduces the Finder metal recovery platform for flexible, AI-supported sorting of non-ferrous metals and complex material streams.
HR glass separation in one step
Cost-effective HR glass separation upgrade enables removal of heat-resistant glass, plastics and CSP in a single step for glass recycling systems.
