Plastics separation in compost
Article Abstract:
Pressure in Europe to increase the diversion of organic residuals to composting led to a study that focused on the best ways to generate finished product with minimal plastic, targeting municipal yard trimmings delivered in plastic bags as well as packaged food waste. The study found that vibrating feed aspirators could be used for plastic separation at compost facilities, including the ScreenAire unit from Forsbergs and Fines Floater made by Triple/S Dynamics Dallas, Texas.
