The training centre is scheduled to commence operations at AMTEC by the end of May 2026. It is designed to address the demand for qualified personnel, particularly machine operators and supervisors, in plastic recycling. The programme includes a 72-hour course combining theoretical content with practical training. Erema is providing an Intarema 605 TE recycling system with a throughput capacity of 50 to 100 kg per hour for training purposes, enabling instruction under industrial conditions.

Sennebogen presents material handling in recycling at IFAT 2026, including new machines, electric solutions and the MG4.1 orange peel grab.

Electric high-torque drive for shredders reduces operating costs and maintenance while improving energy efficiency and system integration at IFAT 2026.

European agriculture is facing increasing pressure from climate change, soil degradation and rising costs for external inputs such as fertilisers, pesticides, irrigation, imported feed and energy. Against this backdrop, climate-resilient agriculture is gaining relevance as an approach to reduce economic and environmental risks.

Jeonbuk National University researchers have investigated how pyrolysis temperature influences the environmental safety of sewage sludge from chemical-enhanced primary treatment (CEPT). The results indicate that controlling the pyrolysis temperature is a decisive factor for managing heavy metal stability and reducing environmental risks.

According to the company, the planned measures would account for approximately 20% of this national target, positioning Sunkonnect CO₂ reduction India as part of the broader decarbonisation strategy.

The facility can process up to 150,000 tonnes of liquefied waste plastic annually. It produces feedstock for the plastics and chemicals industry. According to the company, processing will be ramped up gradually.

The project seeks to recover nutrients, proteins and natural compounds while reducing emissions associated with urban waste treatment.

A regional collaboration in California's Napa and Sonoma wine regions has established a closed-loop stretch film recycling system. The initiative creates a structured recovery pathway for used plastic stretch film. This material is typically excluded from municipal recycling systems due to limited infrastructure and processing constraints.

The project aims to process post-consumer PET bottles into recycled material for packaging applications. According to the companies, the facility is intended to support demand for recycled plastics while contributing to the development of PET collection and recycling systems in Nigeria.
