PROGRAMS/FUTURE PLANS
Construction of a state-of-the-art sorting plant
In the attempt of constant upgrade and development of our activities, the construction and operation of a state-of-the-art sorting plant is being planned. Hence, we are delighted to announce that our new project “Efficiency in Sorting via Automation: ELDIA’s New Venture” is now underway.
Its implementation is largely supported and funded by the EEA and Norway Grants, as part of the Business Innovation Programme in Greece with the assistance of Innovation Norway.
We also regard the cooperation with the pioneering company Norsk Gjenvinning (NGN) as a great success, as their insight in the waste management field will be of great contribution and assistance in the construction and operation of the unit.
The state-of-the-art sorting plant is designed to process up to 20,000 tons per year. This will be achieved with the latest, most advanced equipment, which will increase the efficiency and productivity significantly (by a factor of x3 in relation to the existing plant).
ELDIA’s constant aim to tackle social and environmental issues implies ceaseless efforts in helping the society. In this case, new job openings will be created, CO2 emissions will be reduced by 40,462 t/year, and waste directed to the landfill will be minimized.
It is expected that the sorting plant will be ready for operation by the end of 2021.
Innovation for open top container service
Through the COMPOSITION Project along with CERTH we have deployed fill-level sensons at a scrap metal container to test its functionality.
Through this application, we will be able to get notifications about the fill-level of our open top contains located at our customers sites.
When the fill level reaches the 80% mark, the logistics department will be notified. As a result, the replacement of a full container with an empty one will be scheduled ahead of time, hence increasing the customer service level.

ELDIA participation at Composition Project
ELDIA announces its participation at the Composition Project (Ecosystem for Collaborative Manufacturing Processes- Intra – and Interfactory Integration and Automation). The Project will give us the opportunity to participate in the development of an automated operating system that will allow a more efficient connection between the Industries and their suppliers.
