Industrial Waste Sorter
A multi-stage recycling system that handles complex industrial waste streams. Combining electricity separation, carbon processing, and mesh filtration, it extracts electronic waste, plastics, and hazardous pollutants into distinct categories for treatment and recovery.
Notes
The Industrial Waste Sorter is an advanced machine for processing complex waste streams into separate categories such as electronic waste, plastics, and hazardous pollutants for treatment and recovery. It requires placement in an enclosed room of at least Tier 3 with 500 m³ of free volume, making it a mid-to-late-game object tied to high-quality industrial infrastructure. Because it handles pollution management, consider coordinating its placement near other industrial stations to consolidate waste processing within a single, well-ventilated facility.
