Technology Operation
Ecosteryl Solutions are capable of decontaminating and recycling all sorts of infectious medical waste by using only electricity. The systems do not generate any polluting emissions (no discharge of water, fumes, chemicals, or gases), this way avoiding health risks indirectly created through the release of pathogens and toxic contaminants into the environment when using traditional technologies like the incineration. By eliminating the hazardous nature of waste, this solution will be essential to face pandemics such as the recent worldwide COVID-19, thus preventing potential public health and environmental crises. WEIMA shredders and briquette presses are steady, reliable and economic. . With over 1200 machines produced each year, WEIMA clearly solves the worlds size reduction problems. Shredding expert guides Rigid Plastics –> Agricultural film –> BOPP film –> Plastic lumps –> HDPE pipes –> Pulper rejects –> Wood pallets –> Macpresse balers, plants, shredders and machines are designed and manufactured in Milan, Italy. They are certified and comply with quality and safety international standards. Each new series is designed in detail, to meet the needs of a constantly evolving market and the priorities of the country where the machines will be installed. The Macpresse product lines meet all production requirements: waste treatment paper recycling plastic recycling biomass logistics agriculture Macpresse balers for waste treatment were designed to handle municipal solid waste (MSW), unsorted solid waste with organic material, industrial waste and refuse derived fuel. The machines efficiently reduce the material volumes and allows significant cost savings in transport, litter management and landfilling. Waste baling provides advantages in terms of logistics, of landfill lifetime and environmental safety. The Macpresse balers can also be equipped with wrapping machines that reduce odor and leachate spilling, as such increasing environmental safety of landfills.
