Scanmetals operates in Scandinavia, Germany and United Kingdom where, instead of going to landfill, residual household and municipal waste is treated in Energy-from-Waste facilities, also known as incinerators.
The dry process utilized by Scanmetals to clean and recover mixed non-ferrous metals from incinerator bottom ash has been developed over many years and incorporates the use of the latest mechanical and sensor sorting technology available. The recovered non-ferrous metals are cleaned, separated into different fractions and sold to the metallurgical industry globally.
