With the vision, ‘Destroy Responsibly’, WEIMA puts spotlight on the circular economy that is the focus the disposal and recycling of post-consumer and post-industrial plastic waste. Together with strong partners, the Zero Waste ideal goal for Romania is to be achieved. On this mission, Expert Recycling from Romania is supported by a WEIMA W5.18 shredder, which processes PET, PP, PS, PE, DHPE and PELD material streams every day.

“We want to make an important contribution on the way to a circular economy. One person’s waste should be another person’s raw material. Expert Recycling wants to support a society focused on sustainability with state-of-the-art technology that is not only safer but also more efficient than before. Ultimately, we need to significantly increase the recycling rate,” opined Dan Ana, Expert Recycling owner.

Expert Recycling in Romania:

To achieve these ambitious goals, Expert Recycling relies on shredding technology from WEIMA in Germany – distributed by the Romanian dealer Chorus Engineering from Bucharest and co-financed by funds from the European Union.

In the first step of the recycling process, the WEIMA W5.18 plastic shredder processes a wide variety of films, packaging and more to a homogeneous flake size, which is ideal for further processing.

The WEIMA shredder as the central component of the recycling line has a working width of approx. 1,800 mm, with a rotor diameter of approx. 500 mm. It is driven directly by a Hägglunds Bosch Rexroth hydraulic power drive train, without gearbox or frequency converter, which allows consistently high throughput rates to be achieved. The drive is extremely robust with regard to foreign objects and features variably adjustable rotor speeds with constantly high torque – even under full load.

“We collect or buy post-consumer as well as post-industrial plastic waste from our numerous partners. All our products, granules, household waste bags and films, are made of 100 percent recycled material and comply with all EU regulations, including CE marking for full transparency in national and international markets. At Expert Recycling, we have a comprehensive technology park for end-to-end recycling. This includes sorting, separating, washing, shredding, baling and extruding. And we’re pretty proud of that!” Dan Ana, Expert Recycling owner.
