POLECO 2026: Stokkermill for the recycling of copper cables

From 6 to 8 October 2026, Stokkermill will be attending POLECO 2026, the international trade fair dedicated to environmental technologies, recycling and waste management, taking place in Poznań, Poland.

Our participation represents an important opportunity to meet operators, recycling companies and industry professionals from Poland and Central Europe and to present Stokkermill solutions for the processing and recovery of different material streams.

The main areas of application will include copper cable recycling, metal recovery, the processing of waste electrical and electronic equipment and the growing field of solar and photovoltaic panel recycling.

1. Stokkermill at POLECO 2026

POLECO is a meeting point for companies, operators and professionals involved in waste management, material recovery and environmental technologies.

During the exhibition, Stokkermill will present its technologies for material processing, size reduction and separation, with applications dedicated to different types of industrial and technological waste.

2. Copper cable recycling and copper recovery

Electrical cable recycling is one of the fields in which Stokkermill technologies are applied. Copper cables mainly consist of metal conductors and insulating materials that must be separated to enable the recovery of the different fractions.

An effective cable recycling process makes it possible to obtain a copper fraction separated from plastics and insulating materials, supporting metal recovery and material valorisation.

Stokkermill solutions can be configured for applications including:

  • copper cable recycling;
  • copper recovery from electrical cables;
  • electrical wire recycling;
  • processing of cables and electrical materials;
  • separation of copper from plastics.

3. From granulation to material separation

Cable processing may include different stages, depending on the type and characteristics of the material.

The process may include:

  • size reduction;
  • granulation;
  • screening;
  • material separation;
  • recovery of metal fractions;
  • separation and valorisation of plastic materials.

The plant configuration is defined according to the material to be processed, the required capacity and the desired degree of separation.

4. Solar and photovoltaic panel recycling

Solar and photovoltaic panel recycling is a growing sector and requires specific technologies to process the different components of the modules.

A photovoltaic panel consists of different materials that can be recovered through processing and separation operations, including glass, aluminium, silicon and plastics.

Photovoltaic panel recycling requires the correct management of the different module components and a separation process suited to the characteristics of the material.

5. Photovoltaic panel recycling: materials and separation

The main recoverable fractions include glass, aluminium, silicon and plastic materials.

Processing technologies can be integrated according to the characteristics of the panels, the dimensions of the incoming material and the recovery objectives.

The Stokkermill approach focuses on the design of modular and configurable solutions, with size reduction, screening and separation technologies dedicated to different applications.

6. Stokkermill recycling technologies

Stokkermill develops and supplies technologies for material size reduction and separation, including:

7. Why meet Stokkermill at POLECO 2026
