Serving the environment is an important aspect of waste processing. Therefore, household and industrial waste is being sorted and incinerated using state of the art technology. This also makes it possible to reclaim over 90% of the waste back into raw materials, building materials and energy.

Vehicle recycling or car recycling is the dismantling of vehicles for spare parts. The process of recycling a vehicle is extremely complicated as there are many parts to be recycled and many hazardous materials to be removed before the remaining shell is crushed flat, or cubed, to facilitate economical transportation in bulk to an industrial shredder or hammer mill.

Holmatro is worldwide known for its hydraulic cutting tools. Our Industrial Cutting Tools are specially designed for continuous use in a heavy-duty environment, with a strong focus on user safety and ergonomics.

For the recycling of household appliances, such as refrigerators and deep-freezers, Holmatro has developed a special cutter. Its straight blades have cutting teeth and the spreading function of the cutter makes it easy to remove the compressor quickly without changing tools. The blades also enable the material to be pushed aside, in order to create space to cut pipes and cables, again with the same instrument.
