Together the technology enables the sorting of wood, stone, and metal fractions from the incoming construction and demolition waste stream. To add an extra touch of green to the proceedings, Containers Maes is going to run the system on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.energyrefuge.com\/solar-articles.htm\" target=\"_blank\">solar power<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We want to change the game. The future of recycling lies in innovative technologies and the efficiency gains they bring. ZenRobotics Recycler is certainly the best available technology in the field, so it is a no-brainer to go with it!&#8221; said Werner Willemoons, Environmental Director of Containers at Maes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zenrobotics.com\/english\" target=\"_blank\">ZenRobotics<\/a> is a high-end cleantech company based in Helsinki, Finland.
