Martin Song, Area Sales Manager Korea at TOMRA Sorting, explores the challenges associated with recovering high volumes of high purity materials from end-of-life vehicles (ELVs), and considers how South Korea could learn from European best practice in this field of recycling.
 

TOMRA Recycling: Addressing the challenges of aluminium recycling

Demand for aluminium has risen steadily over recent years and is predicted to increase further over the next two decades, with both the European car industry and construction industry likely to remain major end users of this highly versatile metal.
 

Integrated flake sorting solutions paving the way to increased quality

We all know the issues when it comes to plastic waste. Now more than ever, emphasis is being placed on handling this resource in a responsible, sustainable manner to make sure it can be reused. Plus, with new regulations being introduced around the recycled content within plastic bottles in particular, a new approach to recycling is imperative.

World Environment Day: How you can take care of me, Earth

You may know me as "terra", mother of all life. I am 4.6 billion years old, more than 12,700 kilometers in diameter and have a surface area of 510,100,000 square kilometers – of which 70 percent are water and 30 percent land. While there is more life on me than I can count, I inhabit over seven billion humans. As your Earth, it is my mission to protect not only you but all of life, from the tiniest bug to the largest whale in the ocean, from weeds to reefs. Unfortunately, some humans spoil the broth and while you might mean well, there is a reckless exploitation of resources, especially of non-renewable resources. It takes millions of years for fossil fuels such as gas or coal to form, and yet humans use them up like nothing else. Not to mention how deforestation harms not only animals but also humans and my resources, the entire atmosphere. That is why I am happy to talk about World Environment Day, which in 2020 focuses on biodiversity.

Maximum sorting efficiency and increased scrap aluminum quality achieved through the use of TOMRA Sorting Recycling technology

The quality control of aluminum scrap used as secondary raw material in aluminum production is becoming increasingly stringent. For this reason, it is necessary to have first class material. This excellence is not always guaranteed for those aluminum manufacturers which, as is often the case, are dependent on buying recycled aluminum materials. TOMRA Sorting Recycling's X-Ray Transmission (XRT) technology with its X-TRACT and X-TRACT X6 FINES units is highly recommended for efficiently separating aluminum and aluminum alloys from heavy metals, which delivers consistent quality for the resulting raw materials and products.
