Example process description
All electronic and electrical equipment is first freed of pollutants and is then further shredded. This is followed by mechanical sorting in several stages, during which iron, non-ferrous metals and plastics are separated from each other. The pure fractions are partly pressed and sold on to steelworks, smelters and plastics recyclers.
