Mechanical Sorting in Mixed Waste Processing

Abstract

Global warming and labor shortages are problems that also affect waste treatment. Although the situation has been improved at landfills with spare capacity, the current situation is still lacking. We must therefore address a range of issues like dust emission reduction, promotion of recycling, and overall efficiency of waste processing. The sorting machine is a machine that can be used for the promotion of these measures. This paper introduces the sorting machine and how it can be effectively used in mixed waste processing. In addition, the current situation and future direction of mixed waste processing is investigated based on a composition survey that offers results for two types of mixed waste.
