Recovery methods
There are several cost-effective ways to collect packaging steel for recycling. The variety of methods available means that steel packaging is particularly easy to collect.
Kerbside collections
As the UK Government increases its household waste recovery targets, kerbside ‘recycling box’ or ‘recycling bag’ schemes operated by local authority contractors are now widespread.
'Bring' schemes
With thousands of can banks or multi-material banks collecting steel cans across the UK, 'bring' schemes play an important role in supporting local authorities’ recycling strategies.
Magnetic extraction
Magnetic recovery is the most efficient and cost effective way of extracting steel packaging from non-sorted domestic waste, achieving recovery rates of up to 85%.
Magnetic recovery at EFW plants
Conventional magnetic extraction technology at Energy From Waste (EFW) plants recovers steel packaging present in the domestic waste stream after the incineration of domestic waste.
