Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) / Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)

To effectively meet the challenges of modern recycling, our optical sorting equipment processes household waste, recyclables and solid recovered fuel. Our intelligent NIR & AI integrated systems are designed to separate waste by simultaneously detecting material, colour, transparency and use (food/non-food). Each material is identified, separated and recovered in real time, regardless of the complexity of the stream. At Pellenc ST, our modular sorters can be integrated into all automated sorting platforms, offering a turnkey solution.

Our solutions guarantee high yield and purity rates up to 99%, even on complex streams, to recover every material and increase circularity.
