Sustainable Paint Waste Disposal & Paint Sludge Disposal Solutions: What Happens to my Waste?
Once your waste is collected from your site, it will be taken to one of our local hazardous waste transfer stations where is it sorted and segregate ready for onward movement to our appropriate processing facilities where it will be recycled, recovered or/and disposed.
Solvent paint waste is laundered and recovered for reuse or re-sale back to the market, waste not suitable for recycling is recovered through blending at our North West facility into secondary liquid fuel that is an alternative fuel for firing cement kilns. The majority of paint waste received by Tradebe is recovered, but when recovery is not possible, we can remove its hazardous nature through treatment at our high temperature incinerator. We play a critical role in the sustainability and circular economy for the UK’s paints & coatings industry and we are Associate Members of the British Coatings Federation.
