Abstract

Since the beginning of “modern” recycling in the early 1980s, there have been attempts to improve the recycling rates and the quality as well as the level of products. In processing technology, this mainly concerns the crushing process and the sorting technology. On the product side, solutions are being sought for previously non-recyclable materials, in order to make landfilling superfluous.
