A partnership of researchers, recyclers and engineers has developed the ALR3000TM machine that processes 60 LCD screens per hour and is modular for scalability.

According to the latest study by Global Market Insights, the waste heat to power market size will cross USD 30 billion by 2024.

When end-of-life refrigeration appliances are treated, some of the waste appliances being sent for recycling contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), while others are CFC-free. In terms of minimizing environmental impact, joint collection and joint treatment of these appliances continues to be the environmentally preferred path.

Most countries in the world have agreed on the climate target of the Paris Agreement. However, most of them are still having a hard time implementing it. As a study by Germanwatch, the New Climate Institute and Climate Action Network International shows, most countries lack the necessary ambition.

In recent years, we have noticed that the supply of raw materials is much less secure than always assumed. To change this, the European Commission has now presented the "Critical Raw Materials Act". The aim is to develop value chains in the EU, diversify supply chains and strengthen the circular economy.

Growing environmental and labour concerns in the global ship breaking industry present a desperate need for green compliant ship recycling facilities.

Founded in the late 1970s, J. Obermeier provides a broad range of earthworks, demolition, civil engineering and haulage services throughout the greater Freising and Munich areas from its base of operations in Abersberg.

Mineral waste, particularly Construction and Demolition Waste (C&DW) and Incinerator Bottom Ash (IBA), plays a crucial role in closing the loop for the construction value chain. CDW accounts for more than a third of all waste generated in the EU1 and in 2022, 295 million tonnes of aggregates were recycled in the 27 EU Member States2. This partnership will focus on addressing key matters related to mineral waste, the biggest waste stream in Europe, to support our Circular Economy goals.

Liebherr-Werk Bischofshofen GmbH is planning to expand its production capacity by building an additional manufacturing plant for small wheel loaders in Wildon, Styria.

After the waste-to-energy (WtE) industry was doing very well for many years, there was a significant slump in 2022. But after only one year, the bottom seems to have been passed. At least this is the impression given by the "Industry Barometer Waste-to-Energy 2023" by Ecoprog in cooperation with Cewep.

Develon, formerly known as Doosan Construction Equipment, has launched the DX230WMH-7 (24 t) and DX250WMH-7 (25.6 t) Stage V compliant material handlers.

The new waste recycling plant will support diversion of significant volumes of waste from landfill.

CDE has commissioned a waste recycling plant in the UK for NRE Aggregates part of regeneration business Peel L&P.

In spite of recent progress, Europe is far from being circular.

Total and several partners along the construction value chain have decided to associate to form the Clean Site Circular Project which aims at recycling natural shrink hoods wastes from the construction sector in closed system without film performances degradation.

The second half of 2025 could see renewed investment in pyrolysis oil after the EU set out its approach to mass-balance accounting in early July. It has proposed a fuel-exempt model. A consultation on the proposals ended on 19 August. The Commission is currently conducting a review before presenting a final draft to its technical, with the aim of adopting the proposals under an implementing decision in autumn 2025. It is currently unclear the extent of any changes to the SUPD proposals resulting from the consultation

About 400 million tons of plastic waste are generated every year. It is assumed that the amount will almost double by 2040 without countermeasures. The problem is well known and many people also believe that something needs to be done about it. But no one is doing anything. The polyproblem report "The gap in the head - plastic waste swims between values and reality" by the Wider Sense and Röchling Foundation tries to get behind the secret of the "intention-behavior gap".

In many places, one gets the impression that efforts to protect the climate and the environment are being withdrawn rather than intensified. In any case, it is clear that technology is a real success story for these areas. In the "Green Tech made in Germany 2025 - Environmental Technology Atlas for Germany", the Federal Environment Agency shows how successful the industry is.

Erema spent two years intensively researching, testing, and further developing the twin-screw extruder concept presented at K 2022. Working together closely with customers, they have developed a series production solution that is particularly adept at recycling production waste consisting of demanding multi-layer films. The technology also opens up new perspectives for thin-walled post-consumer regrind material.

While many of the world's major metals processors rely on shredders in support of decarbonisation goals and material recovery efforts, these same operators face a number of challenges, including a high incidence of fires in material piles and customers' stringent quality demands. Both these issues were addressed at the meeting of the Shredder Committee held in Valencia on May 26.
