GDB International has acquired a Despray Environmental DS500 aerosol recycling system.
Despray's technology in the DS500 enables the complete separation and capture of all components of aerosol paint cans, including metal, liquid contents, and propellant gases. By effectively recycling these materials, the machine significantly reduces environmental impact and enhances overall aerosol recycling efficiency and safety.
Because of this purchase, GDB International says that they are the first aerosol can filler in the world to achieve 100 percent recycling of aerosol cans.
The DeSpray DS500 acquired by GDB International has the potential to process over 2 million full aerosol paint cans per year. This system can process over 284 tonnes of metal, 700 tonnes of paint, and 175 tonnes of LPG propellant gases annually. All these waste streams will be diverted for recycling, reuse, and waste-to-energy.
