The metal waste problems faced by the furnace industry.

Our team helps businesses in the furnace industry across the UK to manage metal waste efficiently, sustainably and in compliance with regulations.

Worn fixtures piling up between rebuilds.

We set a collection frequency that matches how quickly your baskets, grids and jigs wear out, and adjust it as throughput changes.

Tight shutdown windows for strip-outs.

We book around your rebuild or reline schedule and clear furnace shells, rolls, belts and internals in one go.

Chasing paperwork before an audit.

Documentation arrives automatically after every collection; nothing to request, nothing missing.

Questions

What furnace businesses ask us.

Furnace fixtures, tubes and retorts are usually made from stainless steels and nickel alloys that contain nickel, chromium and sometimes cobalt. These elements carry a much higher value than mild steel, so correct grading makes a real difference to your return.

Yes. We plan collections around your shutdown window and clear metal internals, belts, rolls, shells and redundant equipment in one go.

Waste transfer notes and a recycling certificate for every collection, showing tonnage and destination.
