Gamma Meccanica - Ecomondo 2026

At Ecomondo 2026, Andrea Burini, President of Gamma Meccanica, discusses how the company is responding to two major challenges facing plastics recyclers: reducing energy consumption and processing increasingly contaminated waste. The conversation covers GM Tandem technology for contaminated and heavily printed plastics, including its patented vacuum degassing system. Burini also explains the improvements introduced in the SMART lines, where water-cooled motors and an updated extruder cooling system have helped reduce energy consumption by more than 10%, according to the company. The interview also explores Gamma Meccanica’s international expansion, including its branches in the United States and South Africa, and efforts to strengthen its sales network and stay closer to customers worldwide.
