Скачать или смотреть Comberplast is Cleaning Up Coasts at the Edge of the World with Lindner’s Micromat 1500

Within the scope of the project Atando Cabos the Chilean plastics recycler and circular economy pioneer Comberplast transforms over 3000 metric tons of ropes and nets into new products every year. The entire recovery process, from shredding and cleaning to the extrusion and injection moulding of new products, takes place on site at the Comberplast facility in Santiago de Chile. The large amounts of old fishing nets, lines and other discarded plastic materials are recycled and converted into innovative new products, for example for the agricultural and mining industries, or also turned into green pallets for an international brewery.

Since 2020, Comberplast has relied on the shredding technology of Lindner’s Micromat 1500. Julio Compagnon, CEO of Comberplast and co-founder of Atando Cabos, explains: ‘We process plastic waste from fish farming and fishing companies. These materials were developed by very clever people not to ever break or tear. Shredding is therefore an especially big challenge. In processing, we are always looking for new solutions to tackle more difficult projects and to keep production economically viable. In Lindner, we found an experienced partner who was willing to go the extra mile with us – not many companies will do that.’
