His Majesty King Philippe Visits COMET, a Company Specializing in Metal Waste Treatment

His Majesty the King visited our Obourg (Mons) site to learn about the systems and technologies implemented by Recupel and the COMET Group for the collection and recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).

• In terms of recycling, our country is among the best in Europe!
• Let’s also try to become champions of reuse. There are still 50 million unused devices or ones that are just lying around in Belgian households’ drawers.
• His Majesty began the visit with a roundtable discussion on the circular economy, followed by a presentation on the depollution of WEEE (washing machines, computers, scooters, etc.).
• And as the grand finale, the Multipick robotic sorting line, a true world premiere!

Cilyx is particularly proud to have presented to His Majesty King Philippe the Multipick technology developed in collaboration with COMET and the University of Liège.
