In a reflection of the ever-growing importance of environmental management in Europe, and the necessity of employing technology to successfully recover and recycle secondary materials such as metal and plastic, www.buntingeurope.com Bunting has recruited Dirk Mylich to fill the newly created position of European Recycling Product Manager.

Bunting is one of the world’s leading designers and manufacturers of magnetic separators, eddy current separators and electrostatic separators for the recycling and waste industries with facilities in Redditch and Berkhamsted.

Since graduating as an engineer in waste management at the University of Applied Science Magdeburg-Stendal in Germany, Dirk has acquired over 13 years of experience working for recycling technology companies.

Since 2008, his focus has been on material separation, including implementing best-practice methods for metal separation in secondary metal recycling operations in both North America and Europe.

In recent years, Bunting has developed a reputation in the recycling and waste sector as one of the leading designers and manufacturers of metal separation and recovery technology.

The extensive equipment portfolio includes high-intensity magnetic separators to recover fragmented stainless-steel; eddy current separators to separate both large and small non-ferrous metals, and the new electrostatic separator for enhanced separation of fine metals such as copper wire and other small metal particles. Product development is ongoing with new metal separators scheduled for release in 2021.

Simon Ayling, Bunting’s European managing director, said: “Our business in the recycling sector continues to grow, especially as we develop enhanced metal separation technology.

“The appointment of Dirk brings additional knowledge and expertise to our sales team. From his base in Germany, Dirk will provide local support for our existing and potential customers in the region and he will support our network of sales people and representatives around Europe.”

Mr Mylich joins Christopher Gabriel and Stefano Maiaroli in Bunting’s expanding Europe-based sales team.

Information on metal recovery and separation from waste using magnetic separators, eddy current separators and electrostatic separators is available on the Bunting Web site.
