Classical recycling procedures are increasingly reaching their limits when it comes to profit-maximizing recycling. The process developed by ImpulsTec GmbH, on the other hand, takes a new approach in order to optimize existing business models: with innovative shock wave fragmentation, recyclables in complex industrial materials can be mechanically exposed and concentrated for more efficient recycling - this is a future technology with huge application potential.en666journal article
