Eldan Recycling and PICVISA join forces to redefine recycling

Recycling rarely comes down to a single machine or technology – it's the result of an entire process chain, from shredding and size reduction through to final sorting and quality control. A new partnership between Eldan Recycling and PICVISA brings together expertise from two different parts of that chain, combining Eldan's mechanical processing technology with PICVISA's optical sorting systems.

An historic partnership

Eldan Recycling has decades of experience in shredding and size-reduction technology for materials including tyres, cables, and end-of-life vehicles – producing the granulated and shredded material streams that downstream sorting processes depend on. By partnering with PICVISA, whose optical sorting systems specialise in classifying these streams by material composition, the two companies can offer customers a more integrated solution – from raw input to sorted, market-ready output – rather than requiring facilities to source and integrate equipment from multiple, unconnected suppliers.

Efficiency and sustainability

For recycling facilities, the practical benefit of this kind of partnership is a processing line that has been designed to work as a coherent whole, with shredding and sorting stages tuned to complement each other – shredding to a particle size and consistency that optical sorters can classify accurately, and sorting systems calibrated to the specific material streams that the shredding process produces. This kind of integration tends to improve both throughput and recovery rates compared with combining equipment that wasn't designed with each other in mind.

Sustainable future

Partnerships like this reflect a broader trend in the recycling equipment industry: as the materials entering waste streams become more complex and recovery targets more ambitious, no single company can cover the full breadth of expertise required. By combining Eldan's mechanical processing know-how with PICVISA's optical sorting technology, the partnership aims to give recycling facilities access to more complete, better-integrated solutions – supporting the higher recovery rates that a genuinely circular economy depends on.
