Discover how this machine converts waste into valuable raw materials
Millions of aerosol cans are thrown away every year, often without responsible processing. These cans contain steel, chemical residues and propellant, and therefore pose a serious risk to people and the environment. SimpelRecycling.nl offers the solution: an innovative machine, developed by engineer Francois Collard, that safely and efficiently dismantles these cans. Steel is returned to the blast furnaces to be reused. The contents (such as PUR) are checked and examined for reusability. Residual gas is safely discharged or usefully utilized.
