At the IFAT 2022 exhibition, Lindner will present its shredders and system solutions. These can maximise efficiency and output gains, enabling waste disposal and recycling companies to successfully enter the plastics recycling field.

The Green Deal and New Circular Economy Action Plan call not only for the reduction of CO2 emissions, electrification of the economy and greater energy efficiency, but ask also for potential secondary raw materials contained in material flows to be better processed and analysed. At the IFAT 2022, Lindner will be showcasing solutions for these industry-specific and future-oriented challenges, alongside ways to obtain and process recyclable plastics.
From zero to hero in plastics recycling
Plastics recycling is becoming increasingly important in waste management. Improved sorting and shredding systems enable potential secondary raw materials – including plastics – to be optimally extracted. At the exhibition, Lindner is reaching out to waste disposal and recycling companies who want to take advantage of Lindner’s plastics expertise and actively enter this emerging industry. In addition to its experience in sorting, shredding, and washing, Lindner also offers specific consulting on individual or system solutions and engineering.
Saving energy and increasing output
Electric motors save energy, reduce operating costs, and lower CO2 emissions. Lindner’s E-models, available in both stationary and mobile, offer cost-effective operation with optimised efficiency. The Dynamic Energy Exchange ensures maximum efficiency and consistent performance through its active recovery of braking energy. Compared to conventional hydraulic drives, energy consumption can be reduced by up to 40 per cent by actively recovering braking energy during shaft reversing. Continuously high performance also increases the throughput significantly.
Higher availability and productivity
Higher input flows alongside a pursuit of increased productivity call for a sustainable, comprehensive, but cost-effective solution. At the IFAT 2022, Lindner will be presenting numerous product innovations with simplified maintenance options. The resulting higher availability, combined with lower maintenance needs, also counteracts the industry’s general shortage of skilled workers.
You can find Lindner’s stand at the IFAT 2022 in Hall B6, Booth 251/350, or outside at VDMA Demonstration Days Biomass.

How will the government and DMOs address the challenges of including glass in DRS while ensuring a level playing field across the UK?
There's no easy solution to include glass in the DRS while maintaining a level playing field. Potential approaches include a phased introduction of glass, potentially with higher deposits to reflect its logistical challenges. The government and DMOs could incentivise innovation in glass packaging design and subsidise dedicated return points for glass-handling. Exemptions for smaller businesses unable to handle glass might also be necessary. Any successful solution will likely blend several approaches. It must address the differing priorities of devolved administrations, balance environmental benefits with logistical and cost implications, and be supported by robust consumer education campaigns emphasizing the importance of glass recycling.
