The SPP Series Closed Loop Recycling Plant is a high technology Mixed Waste Processing system that recovers and can convert up to 500 tons of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) per day into recyclable materials.
The Plant is divided into three operational phases to process mixed waste: 1) Pre-treatment uses automated mesh and magnetic separators to recover organic materials and scrap metals 2) Main Process uses an automated water processing system to separate and out put Clean Plastic Film (purity 99.8%), Recycle Paper Pulp, Organic Matter, Heavy Plastic material. 3) Recycle Material Processing convert to Plastic Pellets, Paper Pulp, Organic Beads, and RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel).
Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Currently, separation of MSW into recyclables and general waste is done prior to waste collection. Thus, only select, clean items are recycled, while the bulk of recoverable materials are disposed of as garbage in land fills or incinerators.
This method of waste management is detrimental to the environment and costly in terms of transportation and usage fees to incinerators and landfills. More over, the value that can be extracted from reusable materials is lost as general waste according to an EPA report; the production rate of MSW in 2005 was 4.5 pounds (2.04 KGs) per person per day, with a recycling rate of only 40%. This generates an excess of 1 kg approximately of MSW per person per day being sent to landfills or incinerators.
The bulk of this MSW can be recovered and recycled with the SPP-MSW series Mixed Waste Processing Plants. --------------------- EPA, Municipal Solid Waste in the United States: 2005 Facts and Figures
