Objectives
The project aims to increase the use of low-quality scrap grades (post-consumer scrap) by deploying and applying best available technologies to reduce impurities. During the project, sensor stations will be integrated in the two separate processing chains for heavy (cut) and shredded scrap to improve the impurity removal and enable a more efficient scrap processing.

Start up phase
The project is in its first development phase where the methods, sensors and facilities are being prepared. Campaigns for scrap purification are planned for 2024.
Further details will be shown later.
