Packaging waste is a much cheaper and easily processable type of waste comparing the household waste, as it is separated from household waste by on-site sorting in homes or industries. Hence, facilities cost less and take up less space.
While there are various projects on the separation of packaging waste depending on the conditions, fundamentally, equipment such as feed conveyor, bag opener, trommel, sorting conveyor and platform, magnetic conveyor, and balling press are used. The main factors here are the capacity, the content of the packaging waste (the products it contains), the budget allocated.
