📋 Tender Overview
With a new plant for the treatment of scrap, LSH Lübecker Schrotthandel GmbH wants to separate metals from each other as completely and easily recyclable as possible and thus prepare them for recycling. More than 1,000 tonnes of various metals are to be recovered annually and around 7,300 tonnes of CO2 be saved. The pilot project is being funded with around 900,000 euros from the Environmental Innovation Programme of the Federal Environment Ministry.
The family-run LSH Lübecker Schrotthandel GmbH operates a large shredder plant for shredding and sorting scrap metal. The company intends to connect a new plant to these systems, which will separate the shredded parts according to their similar properties and thus obtain them for recycling in high purity. Induction and camera sensors as well as other innovative combinations are being used in this form for the first time in Germany, such as sensor-based control systems and magnets of different strengths
The new plant is expected to achieve a throughput of cirva
28,000 tons per year. This means that an additional 900 tonnes of aluminium, 60 tonnes of stainless steel, 351 tonnes of steel, 66 tonnes of copper and 70 tonnes of blanks can be recovered. This corresponds to a greenhouse gas saving of around 7,300 tonnes of CO2 annual.
The Environmental Innovation Programme promotes the first-time, large-scale application of an innovative technology. In order for a project to be eligible for funding under the Environmental Innovation Programme, it must go beyond the state of the art and should be demonstrative.
