Since 2011 “Recycling Bulgaria” has ഀ
been an official representative of the German company Titech, which ഀ
offers a wide range of sensor and detector technologies for ഀ
identification and separation of different kinds of materials. Due to ഀ
infrared sensors, sensors in the visible spectrum of light, ഀ
electromagnetic and X-ray sensors a reliable sorting of valuable raw ഀ
materials with high purity and capacity is achieved. ഀ

“BalBok Engineering” Co., jointly with Sofia Municipality, began ഀ
implementing a completely new system for separate collection of ഀ
household hazardous waste. The system, which includes acceptance of the ഀ
waste at the holder's spot or at a mobile collection station, providing ഀ
save transport and packaging, and also a subsequent treatment and ഀ
disposal, has been launched in 2011. It will contribute significantly toഀ
the separation of the hazardous household waste from the total amount ഀ
of waste, daily generated within the municipality. ഀ

In the middle of 2011 "Meva Bulgaria" ഀ
EOOD officially presented its new range of containers for separate ഀ
collection of organic waste. The range includes containers of 120, 240 ഀ
and 1100 liters. They are equipped with special openings in the ഀ
sidewalls for better air circulation, grilles in the bottom - to drain ഀ
excess fluid and pads of special covers. All this reduces the odor and ഀ
helps to speed the process flow in the vessels. For greater convenience ഀ
vessels are in compliance with DIN 30740, DIN 30700 and EN 840-2, ഀ
allowing their removal with standard transportation equipment used in ഀ
our country at present. ഀ

The Recovery ഀ

Recovery, in its sense of "recycling" ഀ
and "reprocessing", is the contemporary order of the day - assuring ഀ
supplies of mineral resources is gaining ever more importance, in all ഀ
industries. Rising feed materials prices and the increasing scarcity of ഀ
economically exploitable primary resources are generating ever greater ഀ
potentials for the processing of waste for the recovery of useful ഀ
materials. ഀ
| ഀ
ഀ
ഀ
| ഀ
ഀ
ഀ
ഀ
This is also apparent in the amendment to the Closed Substance Cycle and Waste Management Act passed by Germany'sഀ
federal cabinet in March of this year, implementing the European Waste ഀ
Framework Directive in German law. Here, for the first time, recovery isഀ
assigned a higher ranking than thermal valorisation. No less than 65 % ഀ
of all residential waste is to be recycled, and 70 % of all constructionഀ
and demolition waste processed via the materials recovery route, by theഀ
year 2020: a challenge to both research, development and industry! ഀ
ഀ
ഀ
The methods and materials available for this purpose are both ഀ
diverse and numerous. The following articles show what reputable German ഀ
and European companies nowadays mean by "recycling management". Whether ഀ
scrap or glass recycling, the reprocessing of flooring materials for ഀ
reuse, or the development of machines for the recycling industry, one ഀ
rule is constant: never recycling at any price but, instead, strictly onഀ
sound economic, ecological and legal principles. And the industry can ഀ
anticipate yet more challenges in the context of adherence to new legal ഀ
requirements resulting from amendment of the landfill regulations. ഀ
ഀ
The technical journal AT recovery provides ഀ
detailed information on all facets of the recovery and recycling of ഀ
reusable materials. The focuses are the reprocessing of electronics and ഀ
metal scrap, glass recycling and the reprocessing of wood, plastic, ഀ
domestic and all types of industrial waste. The central emphasis at all ഀ
times is on reuse as secondary materials. The journal is published in ഀ
English and German language and is distributed worldwide. ഀ

Brussels - Over 70 percent of respondents to a European Commission ഀ
public consultation have voted in favour of a ban on the distribution ofഀ
plastic bags. Green groups Seas at Risk and EEB say the Commission ഀ
should now act on this overwhelming support and implement a ban across ഀ
Europe. The public consultation was intended to explore options to ഀ
reduce the use of plastic bags and options to improve the requirements ഀ
of biodegradability under EU law. ഀ

ഀ
Over 15,500 responses were gathered by the Commission with just over 15,000 replies from EU citizens. ഀ
The results of the consultation ഀ
show that over 70 percent of respondents agree that a ban on plastic ഀ
bags across the EU is needed with only 12 percent agreeing that current ഀ
requirements on compostability and biodegradability in the Packaging ഀ
Directive were appropriate. ഀ
ഀ
ഀ
Chris Carroll of Seas At Risk ഀ
said: “Plastic bags are a menace to the marine environment and this ഀ
consultation has shown that European citizens have had enough of them. ഀ
The Commission must listen to this resounding support for a ban and ഀ
implement one across Europe as soon as possible. The Commission must ഀ
also now look at how to reduce the use of other single use and ഀ
disposable products and packaging that often end up as waste in the ഀ
marine environment.”
ഀ
ഀ
Stephane Arditi of the European Environment Bureau said: “With more thanഀ
two thirds of respondents supporting a ban of single use plastic bag, aഀ
clear signal is being sent to European institutions: It’s time for ഀ
longer lasting products and for effective legal instruments supporting ഀ
waste prevention.“ ഀ
