Recycling Industry Filter Manufacturer

The recycling industry, which also includes waste treatment, is an important industry in the UK and across the world. With over 140,000 employees in the UK, the recycling industry is responsible for the safe and sanitary management of waste, which contributes to protecting the environment and public health.

To maintain safety, the recycling industry relies heavily on a variety of different filtration methods and filters, from Air filters to Water filters, which must perform at the highest level to maintain standards.

Plastic recycling

With 300 million tonnes of plastic being produced each year and it being non biodegradable, means recycling plastic is important to avoid most of it going to landfill. The method of recycling plastic involves sorting, shredding, washing, melting and made into pellets to be used again. At various stages throughout this recycling process filters are essential and Microtech Filters can help you by manufacturing filters in whatever shape, size or volume you need.

Paper and Pulp recycling

The recycling of paper and pulp involves a lot of filtration processes, in particular water and process filters, along with the use of chemicals to breakdown paper into a pulp or slurry, which can then be formed into new paper or other paper/card based products. 

Aggregate recycling

The global aggregate market is worth more that half a trillion dollars and includes the manufacture and supple of aggregates such as stone, asphalt and concrete to industry. With such demand, aggregate recycling can be both profitable and environmentally friendly, with the latest estimates being that over a quarter of all aggregates in the UK being sourced from recycled materials. Due to the nature of aggregates, they produce a lot of dust, requiring high effective Dust filters to protect employees from breathing in dangerous levels of fine dust particles and other airbourne pollutants.
