Custom developments
At Zero Waste Solutions we design engineering solutions for non-standard waste that requires specific treatment before it can be converted into a usable feedstock.
When a standard line isn’t enough
Not all waste fits into a conventional recycling line. Some materials, due to their composition, volume, humidity or mixture of components, need a prior technical study to find the best way to treat them.
From the operational problem to an opportunity for valorization
At Zero Waste Solutions we analyse how the material arrives at the plant, what difficulty it currently generates and what process can turn it into a usable raw material. The goal is to transform complex waste into more controlled, measurable, and efficient workflows.
A solution designed for every material
Each project is adapted to the real waste, the available space, the input volume and the result that the client needs. The solution can combine standard machinery, adapted equipment and specific development.
Engineering, machinery and technical support
Our work brings together process engineering, machine selection, and operational expertise to create viable solutions on the plant floor. We accompany the project from the initial analysis to installation, commissioning and subsequent support.
A bulky waste that needs a specific solution
Mattress recycling cannot be solved with a single standard machine. It requires an organized process that allows the mattress to be opened, its layers to be separated and the materials that compose it to be classified. It is a mechanical and industrial process aimed at separating foams, textiles and metal components. The procedure begins with the cutting of the outer coating, continues with the removal of the inner layers and ends with the segregation of recyclable materials.
What this project solves
This solution is designed for companies that manage large volumes of end-of-life mattresses and need to reduce waste sent to landfill.
The project allows:
- Disassemble mattresses in a more orderly way.
- Separate materials of different nature.
- Recover fractions with potential for valorization.
- Reduce the volume of the final waste.
- Improve efficiency versus manual processes.
- Prepare materials for downstream managers or industries.
Materials that can be separated
Depending on the type of mattress and the configuration of the line, the process can be oriented towards separating:
- Foams.
- Textiles.
- Fibers.
- Docks.
- Metal components.
- Exterior cladding.
- Mixed fractions that require subsequent treatment.
How the technical solution is proposed
The line must be adapted to the type of mattress, the daily input volume, the available space and the desired level of automation.
It may include:
- Reception and food area.
- Cut the outer cladding.
- Mechanical opening or dismantling.
- Removal of inner layers.
- Separation of foams and textiles.
- Metal separation.
- Internal transport of materials.
- Compaction, storage or preparation of fractions.
- Safety and ergonomic control for operators.
Project Applications
This type of development can be useful for:
- Bulky waste managers.
- Urban waste treatment plants.
- Multi-material recycling companies.
- Circular economy operators.
- Manufacturers or distributors with take-back programs.
- Administrations or concessionaires that manage large-volume waste.
