Providing a lift
Article Abstract:
One piece of equipment that is essential to the recylcing business is the forklift. Forklifts are used around a recycling or scrap facility to efficiently move and store skids and pallets stacked with heavy materials. Since forklifts are available in several different sizes, power capacities and control configurations, recyclers should determine the type of machine that suit their facility. Other factors to consider in choosing a forklift are its safety, serviceablity and ergonomic features.

Vive la difference?
Article Abstract:
Operators of automobile shredders in France are adopting several measures to meet the escalating material recovery targets mandated by the government of the European Union. The end-of-life vehicle (ELV) directive places the responsibility on the producers, requiring automakers and importers to demonstrate that 85% of the weight of the vehicles they sell are being recycled. The ELV procedures adopted by two French companies, Compagnie Francaise des Ferrailes and Jean Meli SA, are described.
