A shredder residue recycling process developed by SiCon Gmbh of Hilchenbach, Germany, is being installed at a Belgian scrap facility located near the port of Antwerp.
Belgian Scrap Terminal NV (BST) has commissioned SiCon to set up the first stage of its process at a scrap facility in the port city of Kallo, near Antwerp. The plant will have an initial capacity of 8,000 metric tons per year, according to a SiCon news release, with an ability for expansion available.
The plant’s design is based on a pilot plant set up by SiCon in Willebroek, Belgium, for BST over the previous six years. “During this period, the process engineering has been thoroughly tested for use on an industrial scale and different recycling channels have been established successfully,” according to the SiCon news release.
BST is also planning to add another SiCon process that will allow it to recycle plastics from electric and electronic scrap, according to SiCon.
