In Transcarpathia, a sorting line was launched at the solid household waste landfill, where 15 tons of waste will be shredded every hour.
The waste will be separated into black metal thanks to magnets and small fraction, the manufacturer of equipment for crushing and sorting of waste Olnova Recyclingtechnik – Hammel-Ukraine reports on Facebook.
The company explained that after shredding, the waste is buried in a landfill, but its volume is significantly reduced. In addition, after sieving, the organic fraction can be used for technical compost.
