Objectives
The project aims to increase the use of low-quality scrap grades (post-consumer scrap) by deploying and applying best available technologies to reduce impurities. During the project, sensor stations will be integrated in the two separate processing chains for heavy (cut) and shredded scrap to improve the impurity removal and enable a more efficient scrap processing.

Sensor stations are being installed
The project has now entered its second phase where sensors are being installed in test stations. The shredded station is installed at Stena Recycling in the site Hallstahammar (Sweden) and the heavy station is installed at Swerim in the Luleå site (see picture). The scrap analysed in the sensor stations will be sent to partners VASD and SSAB for validation of the chemical analysis.
Further details will be shown later.
