Integrated manufacturing of REciclable multi-material COmposites for the TRANSport sector
Greek company in the field of solid waste (paper, plastic and thrusted pallet wood) seeks services cooperation with paper mill industries, plastic and wood production units
The Greek company is active in the packaging waste, household waste, commercial and craft waste as well as waste from entire industries. It produces daily solid waste in large quantities, develops and implements systems for collecting, transporting and sorting solid non-hazardous waste both in the Greek and the international market. All activities have been developed in accordance with the respective legal frameworks of the respective Greek Ministry.
Recyclable materials as well as mixed solid waste after collection are transferred to their privately owned plants for further sorting. The materials to be recycled are bundled and shipped to industrial plants, where they will serve as a secondary raw material for the production of new materials. The complexity of this activity is due to the uniqueness of each material, which requires separate sorting, storage, transport and recycling.
The company is able to concentrate a large volume of recyclable materials and to manage a significant amount of solid recyclable materials. Their goal is to channel the materials to units where the recycling process is completed. The conversion of materials into new products (recycling) implies the promotion of recovered materials to domestic companies as well as to foreign companies, which can technically support the recycling process of the respective materials.
Even common waste is separated for maximum purity and transformation into a solid blend of high energy value. Thus, the company can produce and dispose of raw materials for alternative secondary fuels (Refuse Derived Fuel) for further management. In this way, only a small percentage of the original waste stream is reached for final disposal in landfills.
The company has all the necessary operating licenses for its own units and is ISO 9001 certified for all services and products it offers, as well as with ISO 14001 for environmental management. At the same time, it complies with the International Standard on Safety and Health of Personnel.
The export of some of the recovered materials is a result of non-demand of the materials offered for recycling to domestic recyclers-recipients. The company is currently looking for cooperation with paper mill industries, plastic production units and wood production units abroad under services agreement.
Advantages & innovations Cooperation plus value: The company has the following advantages and innovations: - It has the necessary operating licenses for its own units (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, SA 8000:2008)- Clientele that exceeds 1,000 businesses- Large quantities of solid recyclable materials- Cooperation with the most flexible and reliable export companies Technical Specification or Expertise Sought Cooperation sought: The company is able to provide the paper mill industries, the plastic production units and the wood production units with the following quantities. A) Paper mill industries:OCC 95/5 brown paper 2.000 tonnes per monthSWL white paper 50 tonne per monthWhite paper SOP 50 tonne per monthJournal 25 tons per monthTriplex or SBS 100 tonnes per month B) Plastic production units:Transparent LDPE packaging film of 100 tonnes per monthBottles of transparent water PET 100 tons per monthBig bags of 50 tonnes per monthHDPE plastic containers of 50 tonne per monthWhite industrial bag 50 tonnes per month C) Clean thrusted pallet wood for wood production units Stage of development Cooperation stage dev stage: Already on the market Partner sought Cooperation area: The Greek company is currently looking for cooperation with paper mill industries, plastic production units and wood production units to provide them with solid non-hazardous waste and recyclable materials for the production of new materials under services agreement.
