Metals & Recycling

Environmental expertise for scrap metal, metal processing and recycling operations — managing complex prescribed waste streams compliantly.

Environmental Solutions for Metals & Recycling

Metals processing and recycling operations generate some of the most complex prescribed industrial waste streams in Victoria — acid solutions, heavy metal sludges, contaminated soils, oil-water separator contents, slag and filter dust. These materials require careful classification, secure handling and specialist disposal pathways.
