Reuse
1. Filtration granules
The first step consists of separating the ion exchange resin and the activated carbon which constitute the granules. Once regenerated, the ion exchange resin can be reused to make new filters.
Recycling
2. Filter housing
The plastic parts are cleaned, sorted by color and processed into pellets in a plastic crusher. These granules serve as raw material for the manufacture of drainage pipes, for example.
3. Activated carbon
Once separated, the activated carbon is subjected to thermal recovery, to produce energy for example.
