Recycling Center Adds ZenRobotics Fast Picker

Altem, a recycler of packaging scrap based in Strasbourg, France, has partnered with Helsinki, Finland-based Zen- Robotics, a supplier of sorting robots for the waste and recy- cling industry, to use its artificial intelligence-based sorting for colored polyethylene terephthalate (PET) quality control at its facility. Alteem’s sorting center is dedicated to sorting and condi- tioning household scrap. The company sorts about 50,000 metric tons of scrap per year. Altem is part of the Schroll Group, which operates 15 recycling plants in France. Harsco Foresees Recycling Boost For Aerosol Cans Camp Hill, Pennsylvania-based Harsco Corp. announced that the Morgantown, West Virginia, plant operated by its subsidiary Clean Earth likely will be able to process more re- cyclable aerosol cans as a United States Environmental Pro- tection Agency (EPA) rule change takes effect in that state. The EPA’s Aerosol Cans as UniversalWaste Rule allows such pressurized cans to be managed as universal waste under the federal Resource Conservation and RecoveryAct (RCRA) haz- ardous waste rules instead of classifying them as hazardous waste. One of the objectives of the rule change, according to Harsco, is to promote the recycling of aerosol cans.
