Of the earth's natural resources, we consider six to be the most important: water, air, oil, natural gas, coal and minerals. Those resources are the foundation of our existence, but they are limited. Humans have consumed more resources in the past 50 years than in all of prehistory. We are reckless with earth's natural resources while billions of tonnes of waste end up as rubbish every year. Our solution is recycling – "The seventh resource"

WE ARE THE RE-GENERATION! We may not be able to turn back time, but we can start making a difference now. We belong to the generation that can make peace with nature. Therefore, despite the great waste, we should also see the opportunities that arise. Recycling is an essential part of our circular economy and helps to preserve our natural resources. The so-called "seventh resource" saves more than 700 million tonnes of CO2 emissions every year and covers about 40 % of the world's demand for raw materials. According to projections, this amount is expected to increase to 1 billion tonnes by 2030....

YOUR CHALLENGE WASTE WOOD & BIOMASS Waste wood is a versatile raw material that is worldwide used thermally, and for the production of material. It is waste and biomass at the same time. Some waste products are recyclable and find their use in industrial wood processing. The rest are converted into electricity and heat via biomass power plants and thus form a pillar in the energy transition as renewable energies. The requirement for high-quality recycling is qualified preparation of the material. 4 | ARJES RECYCLING INNOVATION

RESOURCES FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE CLIMATE Scan the respective code to see the shredding process of our application examples in action! Green waste is the term used to describe freshly cut, slightly woody or non-woody plant residues, which are often produced as waste in gardening and landscaping as well as in forestry. Through its processing, it can make a significant contribution to renewable energy supply. Due to their cultivation method, tomato plants are laced with additional plastic mesh which is intended as a climbing aid and are unsuitable for composting after harvesting. The only solution...

YOUR CHALLENGE HOUSEHOLD & COMMERCIAL WASTE Regardless as to whether our private or commercial waste ends up as substitute fuel in the waste incinerator or it can be recycled – Packaging material, bulky waste, used tyres and many other types of waste must be shredded first. Since the composition of household and commercial waste varies greatly in different countries around the world, a shredding technology is needed that can withstand this unruly mix of materials and process it ideally. 6 | ARJES RECYCLING INNOVATION

DON'T WASTE IT – REUSE IT. Scan the respective code to see the shredding process of our application examples in action! With a share of about 98 %, used tyres are utterly significant for material recycling. Recovered rubber granulate is used in insulation materials, in road construction or as flooring for playgrounds. Non-recyclable tyres are sent for thermal recycling. The recycling of CFRP/GFRP materials (the main component of rotor blades) is an important subject for wind turbine operators. After being shredded and subjected to a clean separation process, the glass-fibre reinforced plastics...

YOUR CHALLENGE CONSTRUCTION & DEMOLITION WASTE The construction industry is one of the most resource-intensive in the world. The stock of buildings and infrastructure represents a significant man-made resource. These can be recycled after demolition. Nowadays, up to 90 % of construction and demolition waste is processed for the extraction of so-called secondary raw materials. Our shredders create the basis for these recycled building materials, which are mainly used in road construction, earthworks or landfill construction. 8 | ARJES RECYCLING INNOVATION

TEAR DOWN AND REBUILD Scan the respective code to see the shredding process of our application examples in action! Clay is a naturally occurring material consisting mainly of mineral clay particles. This extremely sticky mineral, which behaves like plasticine when crushed and prepared, provides an optimal raw material for the production of tiles. Recycled asphalt is increasingly used in the production of road pavements worldwide. Crushing and screening are followed by processing in asphalt mixing plants. At the end, the processed secondary raw material is reused by road pavers. Concrete sleepers...

YOUR CHALLENGE SCRAP METAL & CAR BODIES Scrap and metal are significant secondary raw materials. By recycling waste of this kind, it is possible to save increasingly scarce and valuable raw materials, which also reduces energy consumption. Especially in the steel industry as well as in metal processing companies, professional disposal and reuse is worthwhile. The scrap to be recycled is first crushed and then sorted according to different criteria using various separation processes. The sorted recyclable materials are melted down for further processing and used to manufacture new products. 10...

EVERY PIECE OF SCRAP CAN BE TURNED INTO MONEY Scan the respective code to see the shredding process of our application examples in action! Mixed scrap is any form of waste that consists of more than one type of metal. The most diverse recyclable materials must undergo shredding and sorting processes before being recycled. Due to the valuable components, cables have a high priority in recycling. The long cables are first pre-shredded into short pieces and then further processed in granulators until the coveted raw materials such as copper and aluminium separate from the PVC insulation. More than...

ARJES SHREDDING SHAFTS PADDLE SHAFTS The best choice for the most common applications in the field of waste wood & biomass as well as household & commercial waste. WHAT'S INSIDE SHAFT BODY CONCRETE SHAFTS This forms the basic framework of each shaft. The shaft discs and crushing tools are welded onto it. Crushing instead of cutting. With this pair of shafts you are well equipped for your construction & demolition waste. SHAFT DISCS The shape and arrangement of the discs play a significant role in determining which material can be shredded. METAL SHAFTS These particularly resistant shredding shafts...
