PVC Stabiliser Lead Waste previously stored on site was initially routed to an International Recycler and then “Matched” to a UK precious metal recovery business to provide cost reduction for their smelting process.
MPS completed extensive research on other possible alternative routes that could be used to recycle lead contaminated materials. Trials were conducted by MPS with potential users of the material over 3 months resulting in a new recycle route being established for the material that was previously stored / land filled.
In this instance the client creating the waste material has been provided with a fully auditable, environmentally compliant solution. This has reduced storage of hazardous waste material on the producer’s site in addition to reducing hazardous landfill charges.
In addition the new recycle route has created an income stream for the producer of the waste whilst providing cost reduction for the company taking the waste through the utilisation of a lower cost recycled raw material.
