Attero held a symposium on Tuesday in Wijster for municipal and corporate waste clients, focusing on the post-separation of Plastic, Metal, and Drink cartons (PMD). The event centred on sharing knowledge and future strategies concerning the role of post-separation in meeting Dutch recycling objectives, Attero announced.
The company presented its vision for waste processing, which prioritises the maximum recovery of raw materials and energy. Attero stated this approach contributes to the circular economy and the energy transition.
Advanced Post-Separation Technology
A key component of the strategy is the new post-separation line in Wijster. This installation enables high recycling results for PMD materials. Concurrently, food residues from residual waste are utilised for the production of green gas.
Attero also announced its ambition to build a similar installation in Moerdijk and invited clients to contribute ideas for the functionality of the new line.
Financial Framework For CO2 Capture
The company detailed its plans for large-scale CO2 capture, explaining the financial conditions required for a final investment decision. It was clarified that SDE subsidies for CO2 capture are structured to cover only the non-profitable portion of the business case. Consequently, the CO2 levy will continue to be passed on to customers even after the capture technology is operational.
Perspectives On National Recycling Goals
During the symposium, Verpact explained the importance of post-separation for achieving national recycling targets for PMD packaging waste. Additionally, GAD shared its experiences with transitioning to post-separation, covering both operational advantages and successful communication strategies with residents.
The event concluded with a presentation and a tour of the new post-separation facility in Wijster, followed by a networking opportunity for participants.
