Material is loaded into a device called a Juno Clave, which functions like a pressure cooker by steaming material to sanitize and separate paper fibers from contamination, like leftover food.
After it is steamed, waste is loaded onto a long conveyor belt with multiple devices designed to separate mixed in metals, glass and grit.
Separated paper fibers are processed into rough container board material and used to make new products, such as coffee cup heat protectors.
