Vaersa, a public enterprise, opened its new light packaging sorting plant in Alzira, Spain, on Wednesday (3 July).<\/p>\n

The opening of the new plant follows Vaersa\u2019s decision in 2023 to invest in the upgrade and expansion of the Alzira facility to manage increasing volumes of light packaging waste and to enhance the quality of its recyclable output.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The inauguration of the new Vaersa light packaging plant was attended by local government representatives with environmental responsibilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The plant, which is said to be one of the largest in Spain by capacity, is seen as a significant step towards advancing the domestic circular economy, increasing the facility\u2019s capacity from three to eight tonnes per hour.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The tender for the project called for a design that maximised recovery, facilitated operation, and ensured modularity and flexibility of the processing line.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new plant was designed by STADLER to automate the site\u2019s sorting process.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
