Packaging Waste: Efficient Disposal Solution for Sustainable Production
Packaging waste consists of paper, plastic, metal, and composite materials used in the food, beverage, cosmetics, cleaning, and industrial sectors. Due to their high volume and mixed composition, these wastes are often not included in recycling processes. MT INCINERATOR SYSTEMS offers a high-performance solution for the safe, environmentally friendly, and energy-efficient disposal of non-recyclable packaging waste with its YF Series Incinerators. This system completely incinerates packaging waste, turning it into harmless ash and utilizing the resulting heat for energy production.
Types and Characteristics of Packaging Waste
Paper and Cardboard Packaging: Boxes, cardboard, boxes, labels, printed packaging waste.
Plastic Packaging: Bottles, films, bags, packaging foils, stretch and blister materials.
Metal Packaging: Aluminum cans, tin cans, beverage cans.
Composite Materials: Paper-plastic blend, multi-layered packaging (e.g. milk cartons).
Packaging waste often requires careful flue gas treatment during incineration due to its high calorific value and variable chemical composition. YF Series systems provide complete emission control with multi-stage flue washing and activated carbon filtration technology during the incineration of such waste.
Environmental Impacts of Packaging Waste
Packaging waste that is uncontrolledly stored or incinerated creates air, soil, and water pollution. Plastic and composite packaging can release harmful compounds such as dioxins and furans during combustion. Therefore, packaging waste must be disposed of in closed, high-temperature incinerators. MT INCINERATION SYSTEMS, in systems specifically designed for packaging waste, neutralizes flue gases by passing them through cooling, chemical washing, and activated carbon filtration. Emission values are well below EN 13284-1 and EU 2010/75/EC standards.
YF Series Solid Waste Incinerator: High Efficiency for Packaging Waste
YF Series Packaging Waste Incinerators completely incinerate packaging waste with a dual-stage combustion system operating between 850°C and 1200°C. The high-temperature refractory lining reduces heat loss and increases energy efficiency. The automatic air balance system maintains combustion stability and prevents smoke and odor formation. Post-combustion gases are rendered harmless to the atmosphere through flue washing, chemical treatment, and filtration.
Working Principle
Packaging waste is transported to the incineration chamber via a closed bunker system. The first stage involves pre-drying and gasification, followed by complete combustion (oxidation). The resulting heat can be used to produce hot water or steam via an optional heat exchanger. In the final stage, the flue gases are thoroughly cleaned through cooling, chemical washing, and filtration. This process reduces the waste volume by up to 90%, leaving only sterile ash.
Advantages of the YF Series
Low Emission and Chimney Washing Technology: Multi-stage gas purification and chimney washing system completely eliminates harmful gas emissions.
Energy Recovery: The heat obtained from the combustion process can be converted into hot water, steam or process energy.
High Combustion Efficiency: With automatic air control, packaging waste burns completely, without smoke or odor.
Safe and Automatic Operation: Fully automatic control panel ensures stable operation by monitoring temperature and oxygen ratio.
Durable and Long-Lasting Construction: Refractory lining and steel body withstand continuous high temperatures, providing long service life.
