AWFS chose WEIMA America as the official recycling partner
for this year’s AWFS Fair in Las Vegas. WEIMA provided its
WL 15 shredding system to help reduce the amount of waste
generated during the show. The shredding system was in
operation during show hours outside the freight doors in the
Central Machinery Hall. During that time, the shredder
ground all of the demonstration wood scrap as well as any
discarded shipping or packing materials used throughout the
show. “By shredding the materials, the amount of waste was
significantly reduced therefore limiting the amount of
dumpsters and wood waste that went to our landfills,” said
Angelo Gangone, Executive Director, AWFS. In a further
effort at being “green” WEIMA installed a cross-belt magnet
to remove all the metal from the waste which included nails,
stables, etc. This way the clean material was able to be
shred and donated to the local Spring Preserve for
landscaping mulch. With the help of the non-profit
organization Greener Vegas, none of the shredded material
was thrown away. “We are excited to be involved in a program
where we can help positively impact our environment and hope
to continue this for years to come,” says Vikki Van Dam ,
Marketing Manager for WEIMA America, Inc.
