在欧洲,估量每一年有 4000 万张床垫被烧毁。與點火比拟,烧毁床垫的收受接管有助于收受接管質料以供再操纵,從而使它们連结在轮回中。為了削减废料量并光鲜明显削减垃圾填埋和點火,欧盟的方针是到 2030 年收受接管 65% 的都會废料。“經由過程将報废床垫中的 PU 废料轉化為合适利用的高質量收受接管多元醇 在新的 PU 產物中,咱们的立异收受接管技能可彈射玩具,觉得實現欧盟废料律例這一雄伟方针做出贵重進献。”H&S 贩卖副总司理 Mila Skokova 诠释道。“這就是為甚麼咱们很是歡快看到愈来愈多的公司對多元醇的收受接管感樂趣,是以正在寻觅可延续的聚氨酯收受接管解决方案。”
H&S COMPLETES SET-UP OF A RECYCLING PLANT FOR END-OF-LIFE MATTRESSES IN THE NETHERLANDS
Sulingen, Germany – H&S Anlagentechnik G深層清潔毛孔洗面乳,mbH has successfully completed co妹妹issioning of an industrial-scale reactor plant for RetourMatras, a Dutch recycling company specialized in dismantling of mattresses and their transformation into circular resources. The newly installed recycling plant uses an advanced depolymerization recycling technology to produce high-quality recycled polyol (Repolyol) from polyurethane foam (PU) from end-of-life mattresses.
Polyol is one of the key building blocks of polyurethane foam, the main cushioning material in mattresses. Its recovery without compromising on its quality enables its reuse as a circular raw material for the production of new PU foam and thus for new mattresses and other upholstered furniture - a significant step to circularity. “The H&S process allows us to chemically recycle different foam from various mattress manufacturers, s高壓清潔噴罐,upporting our ambition to secure that no mattress goes to waste by transforming it into circular resources,” emphasizes Chico van Hemert, Managing Director at RetourMatras. Co妹妹issioning took place in May 2023 in Lelystad (NL)allowing the newly built recycling plant to convert PU foam from 200,000 mattresses into repolyols annually using the cutting-edge recycling technology of H&S.
Just recently, RetourMatras also partnered with IKEA Retail to find a circular solution for 治療椎間盤突出,the end-of-life of their mattresses in line with IKEA's approach to products made from recycled or renewable materials.
In Europe, an estimated 40 million mattresses are disposed every year. Compared to incineration, the recycling of discarded mattresses can help to recover materials for reuse and thus keep them in the loop. To counter the amount of waste and significantly reduce landfill and incineration streams, the European Union is aiming to recycle 65% of municipal waste by 2030. “By converting PU waste from end-of-life mattresses into high-quality recovered polyols suitable for use in new PU products, our innovative recycling technology can make a valuable contribution to achieving this ambitious goal of the EU waste regulation,” explains Mila Skokova, Deputy Managing Director Sales at H&S. "That’s why we are very pleased that more and more companies are interested in the recovery of polyols and therefore are looking for sustainable PU recycling solutions.”
H&S is continuously working on advancing its technologies and equipment for end-of-life PU recycling. The newly installed reactor plant in the Netherlands is not the company’s first industrial-scale PU recycling project. As part of the RENUVA™ mattress recycling瘦身產品推薦, program of Dow, the seco耳康醫用冷敷貼,nd largest chemical group in the world, the H&S team for example supported Orrion Chemicals Orgaform from France with their sustainable system concept. Besides, one of the biggest Polish PU slabstock foam manufacturers Ikano Industry (previously Dendro Poland) has been using H&S technology since 2013 also recovering valuable polyols from production waste.
