International technology group ANDRITZ is collaborating on the ReWaste F development project, uniting science and industry to revolutionize Austria’s waste management sector into a sustainable, resource-efficient circular economy. Central to this initiative is the focus on creating a Smart Waste Factory.
Based on technological developments and digitalization, the Smart Waste Factory concept aims to improve the efficiency of waste treatment, increase recycling and recovery rates from mixed waste streams, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the waste treatment system. An integrated digital platform will enable overall plant monitoring, control and optimization.
ANDRITZ is currently conducting the first series of trials for ReWaste F at the ANDRITZ Recycling Technology Center (ART Center) in St. Michael, Austria. These trials involve ANDRITZ’s versatile shredder technology, IoT sensors for real-time monitoring and classification of waste streams, and automated sorting systems using machine learning and artificial intelligence for precise recycling. In cooperation with universities – Montanuniversität Leoben and FH Joanneum – and industrial companies, the technologies will be comprehensively evaluated and optimised.
ReWaste F – Recycling and Recovery of Waste for Future is a COMET – Competence Centers for Excellent Technologies project funded by the public in Austria. It encompasses partners from diverse sectors such as waste disposal, technology and mechanical engineering, secondary raw material utilization, recycling, digitalization, networking, and scientific research.
The project includes a strategic framework and three technical sectors with distinct projects dedicated to the analysis of waste materials, their recyclability, and the examination of mixed waste streams. Building on the achievements of its predecessor, ReWaste 4.0, ReWaste F is slated for completion in 2025.
International technology group ANDRITZ offers a broad portfolio of innovative plants, equipment, systems, services and digital solutions for a wide range of industries and end markets. Sustainability is an integral part of the company’s business strategy and corporate culture. With its extensive portfolio of sustainable products and solutions, ANDRITZ aims to make the greatest possible contribution to a sustainable future and help its customers achieve their sustainability goals.
