We recycle materials utilizing a number of different techniques. Our dogma of green recycling techniques is reduce first, reuse second, repurpose third and recycle fourth. For instance it is more efficient and much more beneficial to use conveyor belt as is, rather than cutting, grinding or shredding and wasting the energy required to do this. Once conveyor belts can no longer be used as conveyor belts, rather than being cut or shred into raw materials, they can be reused as gym floors, cow mats, dock bumpers, etc. When the belts can no longer be used for those purposes they can be reused as gasket materials and thin rubber sheeting. And finally once the belt can no longer be used in these applications it can then be shredded and used as a rubber mulch material, or turned into fuel oil. So essentially this conveyor belt can have four or more different lives, and save a lot of energy through repurposing.We are committed to cleaning up the environment, and conserving as much of our natural resources as possible. So why not help out the environment while putting some money back into your company budget, making your facility look a lot better, and getting rid of the materials that are cluttering your workspace? Read on to see some more ways that we recycle materials.
How conveyor belt is recycled:
We first look over each conveyor belt to see if there is any portion of the belt that can be reused as belting in another industry, very little can be reused in this way. Virtually all our conveyor belting inventory is recycled into rubber matting materials, gaskets, dock bumpers, grain pit covers, etc. We are a zero-landfill company and absolutely none of this material goes to waste.
How Poly-Pipe is recycled:
We recycle poly-pipe in various ways, but a lot of our poly-pipe inventory gets repurposed in the agriculture industry in the form of small culvert piping, water irrigation equipment, cement forms, tree protectors, etc. The remaining pipe that cannot be reused or repurposed as is, will be ground into HDPE flake or pellets and turned back into new poly-pipe.
How metal and used equipment is recycled:
We try to recondition, remarket and resell as much of our inventory as possible on a constant basis. Whether it is structural steel, metal pipe, used mobile equipment, tanks and silos, conveyor systems, etc. We work with several equipment auctions and we can offer help with anything and everything you may want to sell. Anything that cannot be remarketed, or resold as-is, will be reconditioned or processed to the point that it can be resoled or recycled in the most environmentally conscious way possible.
