K 2025 : Live-experience of STEINERT's sorting technology for difficult plastic streams

As well as offering exciting insights at the trade fair stand, STEINERT is inviting visitors to experience sorting technology in practice as well as in theory – on exclusive tours of either the STEINERT Test & Development Centre near Cologne or the RE Plano sorting plant in Bochum.

During the trade fair (9, 13 and 14 October), shuttles will take visitors directly to the Test Centre at the company headquarters. During these tours, which last just under four hours, experts will demonstrate how the AI-supported sorting programme, Intelligent Object Identifier (IOI), enables the UniSort PR EVO 5.0 to separate food-grade packaging from other plastic packaging. They will also demonstrate precise flake sorting down to 0.5 mm with the MSort AK. Participants will also have the opportunity to discuss specific projects and technical details directly with their contact persons.

On K-Friday (10 October), a joint tour with the VDMA will take visitors to the sorting plant of Remondis subsidiary RE Plano – one of the most modern plants for lightweight plastic packaging in Europe. Here, sensor and magnetic technology from STEINERT is used on an industrial scale to sort pre-sorted packaging materials into recyclable plastics.

All tours include shuttle service from the exhibition grounds

In addition to live demonstrations and plant tours, trade fair visitors can find technical inspiration. On 10 October, as part of the VDMA forum, Nicolas Deleris (Plastics Segment Manager) will explain how state-of-the-art sensor technology can be used to efficiently separate plastics and produce high-quality recyclates. On 11 October, Björn Lövenich (Head of the Waste Recycling Division at Steinert GmbH EMEA, India and Asia) will demonstrate how big data analytics can enhance the performance and efficiency of recycling plants.
