TOMRA Sorting Recycling has been named a winner in the 2016 Ringier Technology Innovation Awards in the Plastics Industry category. New to that category in 2016 was an award for Recycling Machinery, which TOMRA Sorting Recycling won for its AutoSort Flake sorting system, which was introduced to the market in China in 2015. The award was accepted by TOMRA’s Amy Guan at a ceremony in Shanghai on March 17, 2016.
“At TOMRA, we are very honored to receive this Ringier Technology Innovation award,” said Kelly Xie, head of TOMRA Sorting Recycling China.
“Resulting from over two years of development, we’re confident the AutoSort Flake is the epitome of advanced automated waste sorting and recycling systems,” added Xie. “It’s extremely gratifying to know that our efforts and innovative design engineering are recognized and appreciated.”
The AutoSort Flake is capable of sorting three material streams as well as being able to sort both metals and colored materials, including non-transparent colored plastics, according to TOMRA.
Launched in 2006, the Ringier Technology Innovation Awards are hosted and presented by Shanghai-based Ringier Trade Media Ltd.
