A method for processing, and gaining value from, waste which is created by recycling paper from used beverage cartons, and a processing line for performing this method are disclosed. In Phase I, the flake size of the input material is reduced, the rough waste and dust waste removed from it, the thus treated input material is separated into fraction, containing mainly non-foil plastic, and fraction containing mainly PE foil and PE+AL foil. In Phase II, fraction containing mainly PE foil and PE+AL foil undergoes washing in a water-based formic acid solution and is separated into fraction, containing mainly polyethylene, and fraction, containing mainly aluminium. During Phase III, fraction is processed into aluminium and in Phase IV, fraction is processed into polyethylene granules, then, in Phase V, fraction has the admixture removed and is processed into regrind or granules.

A waste management system, primarily intended to be for waste floating in water, though it can also be used on land. A shredding device will reduce the size of the particles of waste. Ocean water is removed by a drying device. The dried waste material is cryogenically frozen using liquid nitrogen or other suitable means. The frozen waste material is then pulverized and ground into a powder. The powder may then be sprayed into a gas-filled chamber and heated. Temperature, pressure and humidity are maintained within the chamber for more than one minute. Microwave or other radiation and catalysts may be used to enhance the process of extraction. The processed material is then removed from the chamber. Carbon and water may be recycled. The carbon may be used as fuel by the ship. Water may also be used by the ship or returned to the ocean in a non-toxic condition.
