Recycling for the sake of the environment Oliver Scholz and Berndt-Ulrich Scholz The first ton of steel was made from ore some day the last ton of steel will be made entirely from scrap. (Berndt-Ulrich Scholz) The global demand for steel and non-ferrous metal scrap is unabated. However, natural resources are being depleted to a noticeable degree. At the same time, prices for the extraction and transport of primary raw materials are skyrocketing. Furthermore, manufacturing processes consume vast amounts of energy as well. Recycling is counteracting these trends. Available materials are returned to the economic cycle as superior quality, pure, sorted secondary input materials this saves resources and is environmentally sound. Leading electric furnace steel producers rely on recycled steel scrap. Today, over 50 percent of manufactured steel is made from scrap. This saves about 600 million tons of coking coal, some 200 million tons of iron ore, and around 130 million tonnes of CO2 per year. This percentage brings the sector very near the forecast made by Berndt-Ulrich Scholz that one day all steel will be made from scrap. Recycling for the sake of the environment.

SRW metalfloat GmbH Patented recycling system for shredder residue which is unique in Europe SRW metalfloat GmbH, a 100% subsidiary of Scholz Recycling AG & Co. KG, located in Espenhain and Nuremberg, was established in Espenhain in the year 2000. This firm is the investor and operator of shredder residue recycling plants, which are unrivalled in Germany and Europe. This is the timely response of the Scholz Group to the stricter EU Directive concerning the End-of-Life-Vehicle Ordinance and the prohibition of the disposal of untreated waste which has been in force in Germany since mid- 2005. The new statutory regulations specifically oblige the operators of shredder systems to address the nonmetal components after the treatment of light-density and heavy-density shredders fractions. Consequently, in close scientific cooperation with the Technical University Bergakademie Freiberg and University of Applied Technology Zittau, we have developed concepts for plants which can predominantly recover certain defined plastics from shredder residue in order to produce recyclable raw materials. < 2 mm Recycling of materials Light-weight material: (LG 1+2) 2 20 mm 20 65 mm > 65 mm Airflow sorting (multi-step sifting) Shredder light-density fraction Loosening Selective comminution Screen classification Comminution, airflow sorting (multi-step sifting) Manual culling Fibrous material (textile fibers, foam materials, wood, film) Secondary fuels Low-metal light-weight materials: Products with high plastic content (LG 3) Plastics processing (recycling of materials) Extraction of granulates for utilization in blast furnaces Heavy materials: Products with high metal content Metal sorting The original shredder light-density fraction consists of a low-metal mixture of textiles, foam materials, film, plastics, rubber, wood, glass, sand of lumps below 200 mm in size.
The new, state-of-the-art plants for the shredder light-density and heavy-density fractions ensure that the recycling quota which the EU Directive prescribed for 2015 has already been reached today, utilizing the recycling concept of Scholz Recycling AG & Co. KG at the Espenhain site.
