Colour sorting
Colour sorting of shredded plastics
SORTPLAST develops processes to obtain separate colour fractions from shredded plastic materials.
The sorting configuration is adapted to the material’s composition and the fractions the customer needs to obtain.
For colour sorting, the input polymer type does not limit the scope of the service. SORTPLAST can assess shredded plastics from different families and separate any target colour or combination of colours, subject to the material’s technical suitability.
Commercial colour categories
