Material recovery
Around 16,000 tons/year of materials are recovered in the MBT Plant, specifically in the mechanical pretreatment stage, to be reintroduced into the market as recycled products.
The materials recovered are: glass, paper/cardboard, plastic (PET, HDPE, LDPE and mixed plastic), tetra bricks, iron materials and aluminium.
Material recovered | T/year |
Paper/Cardboard | 5.785 |
PET | 483 |
HDPE | 394 |
Mixed plastic | 1.429 |
LDPE | 2.715 |
Tetra bricks | 642 |
Glass | 665 |
Iron materials | 3.589 |
Aluminium | 372 |
Thanks to the recovery of these materials, a great deal of natural resources and energy which would otherwise be used to produce these materials can be saved.
