TOMRA's new deep learning-based solution for aluminumAluminum Recycling: Innovation & Sustainability
Global supply chain disruptions, rising energy costs and increasing environmental pressures are transforming priorities across industries worldwide. This has led to a surging demand for low-carbon ‘green’ aluminum, with recycling becoming the most promising pathway due to aluminum’s minimal energy requirements – just 5% compared to primary production – and its infinite recyclability. Green aluminum is emerging as the cornerstone against market uncertainties – and we believe there is a good reason for that.
How innovation is fueling the Green RevolutionDeep Learning
Deep learning will continue to shape the recycling industry. The advanced technology is set to tackle increasingly complex sorting tasks and expand into new segments, unlocking new levels of efficiency and sustainability in the recycling industry.

Metals are necessary to maintain the modern standard of living of society. Generally speaking, we tend to consider metals as a whole, without noting the major differences that exist between the several types. One of the distinctions we can make is between ferrous and non-ferrous metals. What differentiates these two types is their chemical composition, which gives them different properties and makes them applicable for diverse applications.

Its presence has persisted for years, centuries, even millennia according to some experts; it not only pollutes but also kills animals and plants, dirties and saturates any habitat, it has become an uncomfortable companion but one on which we also depend. It began to be manufactured in the thirties of the last century and from the fifties onwards it was mass-produced. We are referring to plastic and its derivatives, the recycling and handling of PET (Polyethylenterephthalat), like other waste, has become a real challenge for countries and their recycling companies.

TOMRA leads the resource revolution with 50 years’ dedication to the industryAchieving Circular Economy through sorting technology
The current global economy is based on a linear model of production and consumption, where raw materials are used to manufacture products, which are subsequently sold, used and finally discarded as waste; this continuous cycle has become unsustainable for the environment.
Achieving Circular Economy through sorting technologyNavigating the latest changes in waste legislation
Tom Eng, SVP and Head of TOMRA Recycling, provides an overview of some of the recent changes in European and international waste legislation.
Navigating the latest changes in waste legislationThe bottle-to-bottle way I go
I'm a little teapot, short and stout – well, actually, I am a PET bottle, not a teapot at all. I was used for iced tea, however. Now that my owner finished with me, how will my life go on? Will they just leave me on the picnic table in the park? Toss me into the bin after a run? Let me float on the duck pond until I inevitably end up on the other side of the shore where I will be swallowed by weeds, never decaying? Or will they take me to the store and recycle me, so that I may end up with you?
The bottle-to-bottle way I goLatest plastic flake sorting solution by TOMRA
Thanks to the latest applications of TOMRA Sorting Recycling’s sensor-based flake optical sorting solutions, customers are now able to achieve unparalleled recovery and purity rates of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), both of which are polyolefins (PO). Until now, the company’s flake sorting solutions mainly focused on polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

Demand for aluminum has risen steadily over recent years and is predicted to increase further over the next two decades, with both the European car industry and construction industry likely to remain major end users of this highly versatile metal.

We all know the issues when it comes to plastic waste. Now more than ever, emphasis is being placed on handling this resource in a responsible, sustainable manner to make sure it can be reused. Plus, with new regulations being introduced around the recycled content within plastic bottles in particular, a new approach to recycling is imperative.

You may know me as "Terra", mother of all life. I am 4.6 billion years old, more than 12,700 kilometers in diameter and have a surface area of 510,100,000 square kilometers – of which 70 percent are water and 30 percent land. While there is more life on me than I can count, I inhabit over seven billion humans. As your Earth, it is my mission to protect not only you but all of life, from the tiniest bug to the largest whale in the ocean, from weeds to reefs. Unfortunately, some humans spoil the broth and while you might mean well, there is a reckless exploitation of resources, especially of non-renewable resources. It takes millions of years for fossil fuels such as gas or coal to form, and yet humans use them up like nothing else. Not to mention how deforestation harms not only animals but also humans and my resources, the entire atmosphere. That is why I am happy to talk about World Environment Day, which in 2020 focuses on biodiversity.

Global leader in sensor-based sorting systems, TOMRA Sorting Recycling, is renowned for spearheading technological developments and its latest innovation is no exception. TOMRA has further developed X-TRACT™ units for magnesium removal, a ground-breaking x-ray-based solution which can separate magnesium from aluminum in products such as Zorba and Twitch.
Groundbreaking innovation - TOMRA Recycling enables the production of low magnesium twitch from zorbaMaximum sorting efficiency and increased scrap aluminum quality
The quality control of aluminum scrap used as secondary raw material in aluminum production is becoming increasingly stringent. For this reason, it is necessary to have first class material. This excellence is not always guaranteed for those aluminum manufacturers which, as is often the case, are dependent on buying recycled aluminum materials. TOMRA's X-Ray Transmission (XRT) technology with its X-TRACT™ and X-TRACT™ X6 FINES units is highly recommended for efficiently separating aluminum and aluminum alloys from heavy metals, which delivers consistent quality for the resulting raw materials and products.
