NL: AVR plant separates plastics and drinks cartons from waste

AVR is building a separation plant that separates plastics and drinks cartons from residual waste. It is expected that the plant will be ready by mid-2018; its first clients are the municipalities of Utrecht and The Hague.
In the Netherlands there are two systems for separating waste, which both are still being developed: source separation and subsequent separation. Municipalities decide which method of separating waste suits them best. Subsequent separation has a great potential in cities as an alternative to source separation. By offering subsequent separation AVR can respond even better to the demand of municipalities and contribute to recycling plastics (News Item AVR, 30 October 2017).
