1. What is landfill mining?
Landfill mining involves the process of extracting materials from old landfills. This is not only a way to recycle materials but also a method to reduce environmental impact and promote a circular economy. By reusing materials previously considered waste, we reduce the need for new raw materials and contribute to a more sustainable world.
2. Our separation techniques
At Norditek, we use a range of advanced separation techniques to effectively recover materials from landfills:
- Screening: Our screening techniques are designed to distinguish different materials based on size and consistency.
- Wind sifter: This method is used to separate lighter materials from heavier ones, which is particularly useful in the recycling of mixed waste.
- Magnetic separation: Effective for extracting magnetic and non-magnetic components from waste masses.
- Sensor-based sorting: One of the most advanced technologies that uses sensors to identify and sort different types of, for example, colored contaminants.
- Density separation with water bath: This method uses differences in the density of materials to separate them. By placing materials in a water bath, the lighter materials float to the surface while the heavier ones sink to the bottom. This makes it possible to effectively separate different types of materials, such as plastics, glass, and metals, based on their density.
3. The benefits of our methods
By using these methods, we are able to recycle a larger amount of material, reduce the amount of waste and thus also Our the environmental impact. In addition, our processes provide a cost-effective solution for our customers, contributing to a more sustainable and profitable business.
4. Successful projects
We have completed a number of successful projects in landfill mining. Our clients include municipalities as well as private companies.
