GEP ECOTECH Accelerates Waste-to-Fuel Conversion in South Korea’s Industrial Parks

In Busan, a GD13Q twin-shaft shredder from GEP ECOTECH has been operating continuously for nearly five years, shredding, sorting, and recycling materials such as pulper ropes, waste mattresses, and metals from surrounding factories. The combustible m

As one of the most advanced economies in Asia, industrial parks have played a crucial role in driving South Korea's economic growth and employment. However, the solid waste generated by these industrial parks once posed a significant challenge. Thanks to the swift actions of the government and enterprises, an increasing amount of industrial waste is being recycled or converted into alternative fuel to generate electricity or heat.

In Busan, a GD13Q [twin-shaft shredder](https://www.aishred.com/product/double-shaft-shredder.html) from GEP ECOTECH has been operating continuously for nearly five years, shredding, sorting, and recycling materials such as pulper ropes, waste mattresses, and metals from surrounding factories. The combustible materials are then processed into solid recovered fuel (SRF).


“This GD13Q was used to replace another machine from a well-known manufacturer that had to be taken out of service due to a broken shaft,” said project manager Ethan. “Our engineers thoroughly analyzed the requirements, knowing that this was a highly challenging project. Firstly, the processing capacity of 20 tons per hour is quite high. Secondly, the material conditions are complex. Therefore, we provided 2x200KW of power supply and specially reinforced the equipment to enhance its durability and safety.”

“We have used two machines from other manufacturers. One had a shaft break, and the other had a damaged gearbox. This GD13Q fully meets our needs. GEP ECOTECH’s equipment is like the Mercedes-Benz of shredders,” said engineer Park Min-young.

“When dealing with difficult materials, simply increasing the power is sometimes not feasible. If the transmission components and the shredder’s mechanical performance are inadequate, they may break or get damaged. What we offer our customers is the ability to solve problems, not just a machine,” added Ethan.

GEP ECOTECH is dedicated to advancing the sustainable management of commercial and industrial waste. By providing comprehensive solutions for material recovery, alternative fuel production, and efficient waste processing, GEP ECOTECH has achieved significant success in reducing environmental impact and promoting resource efficiency. Their state-of-the-art shredding technology and innovative waste management strategies contribute to the sustainable development of modern industries and businesses.

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.

How green is your glue?

If you’re looking to make the packaging process more eco-friendly, the obvious place to start is with the box itself. And that’s exactly what Salt Lake City-based Packsize did when it made its initial foray into sustainable packaging back in 2002. That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
