The efficiency of the OMNI recycling systems from Gneuss makes it possible to close new recycling loops – also for polystyrene.

The Omni series is based on a Gneuss extruder, a robust vacuum system and an RSFgenius high performance filter. As an option, material can be fed into the extruder via a 3C Rotary Feeder.

FRPs are more difficult to recycle than unreinforced polymers. This changes when they are reinforced with polymer fibers instead of conventional fibers.

A major advantage of self-reinforced plastics is that they can be used in the morphology best suited to the application.

The touchscreen on Hellweg’s R 200/20 edge trimming system, which is equipped with a servo geared motor, allows cycle times to be freely set.

The touchscreen on Hellweg’s R 200/20 edge trimming system, which is equipped with a servo geared motor, allows cycle times to be freely set. This means that the size and number of individual chips can be optimized for further processing independently of extrusion system output.

Contract Conclusion between PreZero and Ferrovial

PreZero, division of Schwarz Group, is planning the acquisition of Ferrovial’s waste disposal and recycling business in Spain and Portugal and thus will be active on the Iberian Peninsula for the first time.

PreZero is planning the acquisition of Ferrovial’s waste disposal and recycling business in Spain and Portugal.

The environmental division of Schwarz Group and Ferrovial have signed an agreement regarding the purchase of Ferrovial’s entire environmental services in both countries including the environmental services, waste collection, waste treatment, and recycling business. Ferrovial Environmental Services business in Spain and Portugal employs around 16,000 people at 140 locations. Subject to the approval of the relevant employee representatives and the antitrust authorities, the acquisition is expected to be completed by the end of 2021.

“The planned acquisition is the next step in PreZero’s expansion, with which we intend to further expand our activities in Southern Europe. Ferrovial is excellently established in the field of environmental management and ideally complements PreZero’s portfolio. In the process, we anticipate valuable synergies and an additional starting point for the further development of the circular economy in Europe“, explains Thomas Kyriakis, CEO of PreZero.

With a strong focus on innovation, Ferrovial Environmental Services invests in R&D into the reuse of biowaste, plastic and compost, as well as pioneering projects in robotics, artificial intelligence and data analysis. In addition, the company operates the only plant in Spain capable of converting biogas from organic waste into renewable natural gas.

In addition to the nine countries where the PreZero already operates, PreZero would thus be active on the Iberian Peninsula for the first time.
