Improved sorting is a condition for more efficient recycling. To enable the recycling of still more plastic waste, Val’Up built a brand new sorting centre in Mons, where 5,000 bags per hour of plastic and packaging waste can be processed and 14 different types of different types of material can be sorted.
In the form of a Design-and-Build project, Consortium Jan De Nul-Vauché offers a total package: from the design and realisation of an innovative sorting installation to the complete centre around it. The sorting installation also played the leading role during the whole building process: every change to the sorting process impacted the building plans.
The centre, which has been operational since the summer of 2021, was officially inaugurated today in the presence of Mr. Elio Di Rupo.
Dirk Van Rompaey, Head Civil Engineering Division at Jan De Nul Group: “Building the sorting centre was a first for us: we took care not only of the construction works, but also of designing the sorting installation. Our ingenious ideas and inventive solutions convinced the client of our expertise. We are particularly proud of having built a completely new sorting centre, a true example for the sector, in hardly a year’s time. We can look back positively on an instructive period with our partner Vauché and our client Val’Up.”
