What is less well known is that these technologies also contribute to circularity by being part of processes that convert plastic waste into valuable raw materials.<\/p>\r\n<p>This article takes a closer look at how mixing and drying technology supports various routes for polymer recycling, so that the rapidly growing amount of plastic waste can be valorized and reused.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Energy-efficient technology as part of recycling processes<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Modern high-performance mixers and dryers are designed with energy efficiency as a starting point. Efficient heat transfer, low specific energy consumption, and the ability to recover process heat contribute not only to lower operating costs but also to more sustainable production processes. Less visible is their contribution to sustainability through their role in processes that recycle or upgrade waste streams.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>The benefits of recycling<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cBesides energy, recycling is nowadays an important part of the sustainability strategy of many companies,\u201d says Marc Jacobs, Team Manager Chemicals\/Minerals\/Metals at Hosokawa Micron BV. \u201cThis is often economically attractive as well. When you can reuse material from your own process, you directly reduce the consumption of raw materials and the costs of waste processing.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>As a designer and builder of mixing, drying, and agglomeration systems for powders, particles, and bulk materials, Hosokawa Micron, based in Doetinchem, has been supporting recycling processes in various industries for many years. For instance, about ten years ago, the company modified one of its Nauta mixers for a biscuit manufacturer. Thanks to a relatively small adjustment to the mixing screw, unmixed dough could be discharged at the bottom of the mixer and reintroduced at the top. \u201cWith this \u2018internal recycling loop,\u2019 more material remained in the process, and the amount of waste at the customer\u2019s site was significantly reduced,\u201d explains Jacobs.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Plastic production doubled<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>The polymer industry in particular is under increasing pressure when it comes to waste reduction and recycling. According to the report <em>Global Plastics Outlook<\/em> According to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), global plastics production has more than doubled in the past twenty years: from 234 million tonnes in 2000 to 460 million tonnes in 2019.<\/p>\r\n<p>This results in more plastic waste than traditional waste processing systems can handle, with negative consequences for the environment and climate. To limit this impact, many governments are introducing stricter regulations that encourage companies to recycle or upgrade polymers. For example, the new European Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) requires that all packaging on the EU market must be recyclable by 2030. In addition, minimum percentages of recycled material are mandated for plastic packaging, ranging from 10% to 35%.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Solutions for various recycling routes<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>In addition to mechanical recycling \u2013 the most common method in which plastic waste is sorted, cleaned, shredded, melted, and reformed while preserving the original polymer structure \u2013 there are various other techniques for the reuse of plastics. Examples include dissolution processes and pyrolysis or gasification.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Solving plastic-rich waste streams<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Whether plastic waste can be recycled or upgraded, and which method is most suitable, depends heavily on the composition of the waste stream. Waste streams with a high plastic content (more than 80% polymers), for example, can be processed via a dissolution process.<\/p>\r\n<p>In this process, a solvent is used to dissolve polymers. Undissolved impurities can then be mechanically separated and removed. Subsequently, the polymer is recovered by evaporating the solvent under vacuum.<\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cOur vacuum dryers \u2013 based on Nauta technology or the Central Paddle Dryer (CPD) \u2013 can be applied in this process,\u201d says Jacobs. \u201cBy operating at reduced pressure and relatively low temperatures, thermal degradation is prevented, while still achieving high residual solvent removal.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>The recovered polymer material is subsequently prepared for pelletization via an extruder.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Homogeneous mixing of additives<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Blending technology also plays an important role in the production of additives used to upgrade recycled polymers. For example, some <strong>Nauta\u00ae mixers from Hosokawa Micron<\/strong> for years part of production lines at manufacturers of plastic additives for the polymer and recycling industry.<\/p>\r\n<p>Within this production line, peroxide masterbatches are produced, among other things, which are used in the recycling sector to reduce the viscosity of polymers.<\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cTo guarantee consistent product quality, the plastic additives must be mixed into a completely homogeneous mixture,\u201d says Raymond Fels, Application Engineer CMM at Hosokawa Micron. \u201cMoreover, this mixing process must take place without excessive heat generation, because the ingredients used are temperature-sensitive.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>The applied <strong>Nauta\u00ae mixer from Hosokawa Micron<\/strong> combines efficient homogenization with relatively low heat input. In addition, the system is simple and safe to operate, reliable in a continuous feed to extrusion lines, and low-maintenance in industrial production environments.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Pyrolysis for mixed plastic streams<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>For mixed or heavily contaminated plastic waste streams, pyrolysis \u2013 also known as gasification \u2013 can offer a solution. In this process, the waste is heated without oxygen and converted into oil and gas, while a solid residue remains. This residue contains mineral components such as calcium carbonate and titanium dioxide. As a result, reprocessing for reuse is more complex, but not impossible.<\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cPyrolysis is also used, for example, to produce recovered Carbon Black (rCB) from car tires,\u201d says Jacobs. In this process, after pyrolysis, the granules are first pre-shredded and then finely ground. This is followed by the pelletizing process, in which a mixer is used to add a binder and a dryer to convert the wet pellets into dry, stable, and easy-to-handle pellets.<\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cTogether with our sister companies Hosokawa Alpine and Hosokawa Solids, we supply all the equipment required for this process and have already developed various cost-efficient total systems for Carbon Black recycling,\u201d explains Jacobs. \u201cFor plastics recycling, this technology is still in a relatively early stage. But if you look at the development of the rCB market over the past fifteen years \u2013 from technically feasible to economically viable \u2013 I see no reason why a similar development could not also take place for polymers.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>More sustainable and economically more attractive<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cThe processing and recycling of polymer waste is a complex field for which no standard solution exists,\u201d says Fels. At Hosokawa Micron, he and his specialist colleagues are always open to customer ideas and to jointly exploring potential solutions in which mixing and drying technology can play a role. \u201cBased on our process knowledge, we can determine which technology is most suitable for a specific application. We can then validate this through pilot tests in our Test Centre.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cPolymer recycling is a very dynamic and urgent subject. Our mixers and dryers are already part of various process steps at companies involved in polymer recycling. We are happy to help them make these processes even more sustainable and economically attractive,\u201d concludes Jacobs.<\/p>\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"articles bg--offwhite automatic\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"container\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"articles__header\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='heading-wrapper'><svg width=\"13\" height=\"13\" viewbox=\"0 0 13 13\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><circle cx=\"6.394\" cy=\"6.5\" r=\"6.394\" fill=\"#000\"\/><\/svg><h2>Related articles<\/h2><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/profiel\/hosokawa-micron-b-v\/\" class=\"button button--outline\">view profile<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"post-grid post-grid--no-padding\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\n<a class=\"single-item single-item__articles\" href=\"https:\/\/fhi.nl\/en\/news\/modulair-cpci-serial-platform\/\" data-id=\"41076\">\n\t<div class=\"single-item__articles-icon\">\n\t\t<svg width=\"103\" height=\"103\" viewbox=\"0 0 103 103\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M49.5 98.9587V82.3076C33.3844 81.2758 20.6328 67.878 20.6328 51.5019C20.6328 35.1258 33.3844 21.728 49.5 20.6962V4.04134C24.1941 5.08952 4 25.9365 4 51.5C4 77.0635 24.1941 97.9105 49.5 98.9587ZM53.5 78.2983V61.8096H76.3238C72.5238 70.9498 63.8222 77.5397 53.5 78.2983ZM49.5 78.298V61.8096H26.681C30.4804 70.9484 39.1799 77.5377 49.5 78.298ZM47.0728 57.8096H25.3773C24.8906 55.7865 24.6328 53.6743 24.6328 51.5019C24.6328 37.3358 35.5955 25.7301 49.5 24.7058V37.013H34.0466C33.2709 37.013 32.5653 37.4615 32.2359 38.1637C31.9065 38.8659 32.0128 39.6952 32.5086 40.2916L47.0728 57.8096ZM55.9249 57.8096H77.6274C78.1141 55.7865 78.3719 53.6743 78.3719 51.5019C78.3719 37.3342 67.4068 25.7275 53.5 24.7055V37.013H68.9511C69.7268 37.013 70.4324 37.4615 70.7618 38.1637C71.0912 38.8659 70.9849 39.6952 70.4891 40.2916L55.9249 57.8096ZM53.5 82.3079V98.9587C78.8059 97.9105 99 77.0635 99 51.5C99 25.9365 78.8059 5.08952 53.5 4.04134V20.6959C69.6178 21.7254 82.3719 35.1242 82.3719 51.5019C82.3719 67.8796 69.6178 81.2784 53.5 82.3079ZM0 51.5C0 23.7271 21.9843 1.08883 49.5 0.0381213V0H51.5H53.5V0.0381213C81.0157 1.08883 103 23.7271 103 51.5C103 79.9427 79.9427 103 51.5 103C23.0573 103 0 79.9427 0 51.5ZM38.3102 41.013H64.6875L51.4989 56.8765L38.3102 41.013Z\" fill=\"#2DD881\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"single-item__articles-title\"><div class='heading-wrapper'><h3>Modular cPCI serial platform<\/h3><\/div><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"single-item__articles-terms\">\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"button button--outline single-item__articles-term--branche single-item__articles-term\">Industrial Electronics<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"button button--outline single-item__articles-term--branche single-item__articles-term\">Design Automation &amp;

In addition, the European PPWR Regulation mandates that packaging be recyclable and contain a minimum proportion of recycled material by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>Hosokawa Micron supplies mixing and drying technology for various recycling routes:<\/p>\n<p>Mechanical recycling:<br \/>\nPlastic is sorted, cleaned, shredded, melted, and reprocessed, while preserving the original polymer structure.<\/p>\n<p>Dissolution processes:<br \/>\nPlastic-rich waste streams are dissolved in a solvent, after which contaminants are removed. Vacuum dryers then ensure the recovery of the polymer without thermal damage.<\/p>\n<p>Additive production:<br \/>\nMixers are used for the homogeneous production of plastic additives, such as peroxide masterbatches, which improve the processing of recycled polymers.<br \/>\nPyrolysis (gasification): mixed or heavily contaminated plastic streams are heated without oxygen and converted into oil, gas, and solid residues. Mixers and dryers support this process, among other things, the production of pellets from recovered materials such as Carbon Black.<\/p>\n<p>Every waste stream requires a specific approach. Thanks to their process knowledge and testing facilities, Hosokawa Micron helps companies develop technically feasible, sustainable, and economically attractive recycling processes.<\/p>\n<p>Energy-efficient mixers and dryers make a significant contribution to the circular economy by enabling and optimizing various forms of plastic recycling.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":83840,"template":"","branches":[],"events":[8],"secretariat":[],"categories":[58],"themes_tax":[509,510,523],"content_types":[514],"class_list":["post-83839","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Plastic afvalverwerking &amp;
