It sorts out shredded paper and plastic.
Shredded waste goes through a cylinder with holes, that rotates at great speed. Paper is hurled out through the holes, while plastic forms a central ball and gets to the end of the cylinder.
What comes out | What is done to it |
---|---|
Dirty wet paper | It's mixed with the organic matter from the refuse and gets composted |
A mixture of shredded plastics (pre-SRF) | It's used as an industrial fuel |
