CKFD : An innovative system to recycle cans

CKFD is a french company developing an innovative system to recycle cans named "Ecopacteur". This project is not only ecological and economic lines. The societal dimension is indeed also present, since it creates jobs dedicated to the collection of cans, the maintenance of écopacteurs and display advertisements.

Today, vending machines for refreshments are everywhere : parking, subway, stations, airports, supermarkets, schools, businesses ... The public places are filled!

However, the biodegradation of an aluminum pop can take over 200 years. That is why it is imperative not to throw his cans anywhere. Cans are 100% recyclable. However they are separated from the rest of the packaging. Especially since the bobbin is a disposable product, mainly consumed outside home. That is why the majority of cans are thrown in combination and are not recycled. 

With the écopacteur,the French company CKFD, is making the difference since this machine allows a cylindrical compaction process manual cans to reduce and recycle waste. 

CKFD is engaged in a logic of sustainable development.  A full écopacteur is compacted 2 000 cans or the equivalent of 3 bikes after recycling! 750 écopacteurs full is 1 500 000 cans of 33 cl compressed which is equivalent to 1 line of tramway 32.5 meters after recycling. 

Today,the écopacteur seduced many communities and businesses, especially at events. The most recent example is the SNCF.
