How to sort waste without touching it

For optimal raw material recycling, Veolia makes use of innovative technologies in its high performance sorting centres in France.

In Amiens, two new Veolia patented processes – auto-adaptive sequential sorting (TSA2) and remotely operated sorting – make for a much faster and more efficient process, just with the touch of a finger on a screen! An advantage for the planet given that a metric ton of recycled plastic prevents the emission of 2,290 kg CO2 equivalent.
