DIVERT FROM LANDFILL

Asbestos should not be sent to landfill. Whilst people refer to asbestos removal virtually all the asbestos that has ever been mined, or used, remains. It has simply been moved from the built environment to a hole in the ground where it stays forever as , unlike the ground it is in, it does not decay or erode. Landfill simply stores the problem of asbestos for future generations to deal with.

Furthermore, give that tens of millions of tonnes of asbestos containing or contaminated material remains in the built environment, there is currently insufficient landfill capacity to even store all of this hazardous waste. An innovative solution is therefore essential. Thermal Recycling has developed this solution.

It is estimated that cement bound asbestos accounts for at least 60% of asbestos containing material, by weight, that is sent to landfill so our approach makes a very significant difference.
