Pre-processing and Separation

Food and Organics are packaged using materials ranging from paper, cardboard, and plastic to bags, cans, and bottles, all of which can contaminate waste streams and end-products. One of the challenges in food and organics waste processing is the separation of packaging from its contents to avoid contamination. Demand for technological solutions has resulted in state-of-the-art pre-processing and separation solutions that cleanly separate food and organics from packaging.

EcoPartners uses Scott Equipment’s Turbo Separator for its food waste recycling. The Turbo Separator is the only large-scale, made-in-America depackaging system that separates almost all food packaging (except glass.) The equipment separates and does not shred, press, mill, or crush packaging materials.
