Plastic separation explained
Key takeaways
The rigid plastic mix is washed and fed into a flotation tank containing AD REM's proprietary medium — a pH-neutral substance that remains in suspension, unlike the salt solutions used in traditional processes. This allows the medium to be fully recovered and reused after each cycle, with no corrosion or environmental impact.
- Patented flotation process: Three successive separation steps sort non-recyclable plastics, RDF plastics, PE/PP and PS/ABS with maximum precision.
- Widely applicable: Processes plastic mixes from automotive residues (ASR), electronic waste (WEEE) and other rigid plastics.
- Sustainable and cost-effective: The medium is pH-neutral, can be fully recovered and reused, and up to 70% of plastics are diverted from landfill.
