Recycling and side-stream utilization are becoming increasingly important, not only due to tightening sustainability targets, but also because industry is under growing pressure to use raw materials, water and energy more efficiently. In many processes, valuable material is still lost because side streams are only handled once they have become part of broader waste fractions. […]
