* Eldan Scandinavian Recycling
Maryland Environmental Service of Annapolis, Maryland, U.S., has purchased a processing system for its new tyre recycling facility in Western Baltimore County, Maryland. The E-4000t unit manufactured by Eldan Scandinavian Recycling A/S of Faaborg, Denmark, and sold by Wendt Corp. of Tonawanda, NewYork, U.S., will reportedly enable the plant to convert 1.5 million scrap tyres each year into crumb rubber.
The system features a Super Chopper that reduces passenger and truck tyres to 6 inch chunks. A Heavy Rasper converts these chunks into chips smaller than ¾ inch while liberating more than 95% of tyre wire for recovery by a magnet. The chips are subsequently granulated to minus ¼ inch via the system’s Fine Granulator No. 1 and then to minus 1/8 inch by Granulator No. 2. The finished product is designed to be more than 99.9% free of liberated steel and fibre, says Wendt.

Italy in breach of EU waste laws
[platte tekst]The European Environmental Bureau (EEB) and its Italian member Legambiente have released an alarming report on recent developments in environmental law-making in Italy, showing that over the past two years Italy has passed a string of laws in breach of existing EU waste legislation.
The EEB is concerned that these new laws will tighten the grip of organised crime on Italy’s waste sector. In 2001, more than 11 million tonnes of waste ‘disappeared’ in Italy, representing an estimated turnover of € 2.6 billion for some 22 criminal gangs operating all over the country.
The Italian government adopted a new law narrowing Italy’s legal definition of waste in July 2002. Consequently, the number of secondary materials deemed not to be waste - notably ferrous and non-ferrous metal scrap - has been greatly increased. The law excludes from the scope of the waste legislation several thousands of tonnes of waste currently defined as hazardous under existing EU legislation and international treaties such as the Basel Convention. Indeed, by de-classifying this waste, Italy is promoting the export of hazardous wastes to poorer countries, says EEB.
The Italian Parliament is currently debating a new law which goes even further: companies willing to trade materials deemed not to be waste under the new Italian definition could register to conduct their business on a worldwide scale.
‘These provisions will turn Italy into a safe haven for unscrupulous waste traders looking for cheap dumping grounds,’ concludes EEB Secretary General John Hontelez. ‘Italy could be the first industrialised country to offer a convenient base for environmental criminals. We urge the Italian Parliament to prevent this scandal from going any further.’ ... more

* Metso Lindemann
Green Metals Inc. of Princeton, Indiana, U.S., has bought an RAS III 44L baler from Metso Minerals Metal Recycling of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. This unit is the second Metso Lindemann baler bought by Green Metals, the first of which is operating at the firm’s facility in Georgetown, Kentucky. Among their features, Metso’s RAS balers use smaller, higher-speed hydraulic cylinders and a unique oil-flow system. This design reduces cycle times by 50% without increasing power, resulting in extremely high throughputs and lower energy consumption, states Metso. The balers also feature an infinitely-variable positioning system.
