Presona Balers to Process Waste for Recycling at Winter Olympics in Sochi
Presona AB a Swedish manufacturer of bale presses has won an order to supply seven baling systems to handle the waste that will be generated during the Olympic Winter Games 2014 in Sochi, Russia. The company said that the equipment will be delivered to five cities in the Krasnodar region, where the public waste management companies will run the baling plants. The waste generated during the Games, will be collected and delivered to the different plants for sorting. According to Presona, sorted waste (paper, cardboard, plastics) will then be pressed into bales and will in that way be ‘transformed’ into a secondary raw material that can be used to produce new products. The company added that the delivery will take place during the late autumn and the equipment will be installed and ready for hand over in December 2013. After the Olympic Games, the waste handling plants will be in operation as an integrated part of the waste handling system in the Krasnodar Region. Presona also recently launched the latest in its LP Series of balers at this year’s RWM exhibition in Birmingham, UK - the LP 85 VH - which features a range of functions and features to enhance performance and cut life cycle costs. A Video explaining some of the new baler’s features can be seen below.
