OSS Group has opened a new hazardous waste fragmentation plant its site in Mersyside.
The new plant has the ability to process all types of used fuel, oil and air filters along with metal and plastic waste including used containers up to 240 litres. These items are shredded and divided into groups of basic elements: paper, metal, plastics, and residual waste oils. The oil that will be recovered will be repurposed and used as a feedstock for its fuel oil product, CFO®. The rest of the various solid wastes will be cleaned until safe, packaged and sent off to various re-processors. The shredded materials will have been cleaned as well and will no longer be classified as hazardous waste.
The OSS Group operates a nationwide “HazTech” hazardous waste collection service but plans to make the facility available to third party customers. Third party groups will be charged commercial rates for all items delivered to the plant’s site in Knowsley, Merseyside. The commercial service will also include complete cleaning of containers that are used to transport filters or other recyclable items.
According to Group Sales and Marketing Manager Mark Bridgens, “This is one of very few such plants in the UK that is licensed to receive and handle hazardous waste. Our process, now classed as the best available technology, means that virtually all the waste we receive gets recycled and we are rapidly moving to a position where 100% will be recycled or re-used.”
