Asbestos Recycling

Asbestos has been widely used in construction and manufacturing industries. They are used in a wide range of products and applications due to its desirable properties, such as heat resistance, strength, and insulation capabilities. It has been incorporated into a variety of  products and applications, from including thermal and acoustic insulation to roofing shingles and tiles, and other construction materials.

How to Recycle Asbestos

Recycling asbestos requires special considerations. It cannot be recycled like recycling paper or plastic. High temperatures are used to change asbestos fibers into glass or ceramic fibers. Make sure to contact trained professionals for proper removal and disposal of asbestos. The process involves varied steps such as safely removing, transporting, and processing it at specialized facilities.

Scrap Value of Asbestos

Asbestos does not have a scrap value due to its hazardous properties and the need for safe, regulated disposal. From late November 1999 in the UK, it was illegal to buy, sell, import or export any materials containing asbestos. As it is not considered for recycling or scrap purposes, the priority is on safe removal and proper disposal rather than extracting value.
