Sorting systems for recovering high-quality, pure glass materials. Planned deposit system and circular economy drive development forward. Up until 2016 RE-Glass Kft., with head office in Orosháza and other yards located in Budapest and Mezőörs, processed 7-8 thousand tons of flat glass per year, while bottle glass – because of the lack of mode rn technology – was only 1-3 tons per year. As there is only flint glass production in Hungary, there was only a market for flint flat and packaging glass domestically. The collected and treated mixed packaging glass was exported as mix-glass. In 2016 Mátyás Máthé became the new owner of RE-Glass. He is assisted by Ferenc Aszódi as Managing director. The reason for this decision Hungary lags behind the EU-wide average and standards for collecting and recycling glass waste. The government of Hungary begun planning to introduce a deposit fee system in 2023 for packaging glass, which would ensure the satisfaction of EU expectations. This also would prevent this material flow from ending up in landfills. Mátyás Máthé and Ferenc Aszódi explain:

With the new metal separation unit by Sesotec , highly contaminated plastic granulate can be reliably cleaned of metal contaminants and recovered for reuse in production. The plastics industry is faced with the challenge of producing their products in a manner that is at once circular and highly efficient. Increasing material efficiency is a crucial step towards achieving this goal. In addition to its negative impact on the environment, loss of good material also means productivity losses for plastics manufacturers and processors. Initiatives such as ”Zero Pellet Loss” aim to prevent the waste of plastic granulate. The project identifies three processing stages where the majority of granulate loss occurs: unloading in the silo area, bag and granulate container handling, and via conveying lines and equipment. But many plastic granulates are also lost within production itself. For example, metal separators used to protect processing equipment detect and eject contaminated material. This material must be disposed of, which means additional costs and loss of value. All the while, analyses have shown that the rejected material usually

A new Whitepaper from Sesotec helps plastic manufactures choose a suitable metal separator Schönberg, September 2020 When it comes to plastics compounding and masterbatch production, a certain degree of machine wear and tear is part of doing business. On a semi-regular basis, machines must be replaced, parts changed out, and facilities retrofitted. While some machine downtime is unavoidable, materials harboring metallic contaminants can lead to frequent, unplanned stops that incur costly repairs and quality assurance issues. Metal separators play a key role in keeping metallic contaminants out of product streams. Granulate manufacturers and compounders have special requirements when it comes to protection against metallic contaminants. Not only must metal separators in this branch operate with high detection accuracy, but they must also guarantee short cleaning times. Reliable metal separators can increase line availability, ensure product quality, and prevent customer complaints. Particularly for compounding and masterbatch production lines, metal separators
