Becker Umweltdienst GmbH
Becker Umwelt is a sorting facility for packaging waste (i.e. separately collected via the green dot system in Germany), as well as for other wastes (e.g. industrial waste, construction waste, wood waste, ….). The sorting facility for packaging waste enables the recovery of metal recyclables (e.g. ferrous and non-ferrous materials) as well as pure streams of plastics (i.e. PET, PP, PE, PS) and/or mixed plastics (i.e. PO). Residue plastic waste which are not suitable for material recycling are then prepared as RDF for e.g. cement plants, RDF power plants.
The sorting facility includes both mechanical and optical sorting equipment. It processes about 106,000 tons of waste annually, of which about 5,000 tons/year is packaging waste.
