Types of Chemical Recycling Services
Our Chemical Recycling Services encompass three main solutions: Mobile Recycling, On-Site Recycling, and Off-Site Recycling. Each solution offers distinct advantages, allowing companies to choose the option that best fits their requirements. From mobile units that bring recycling capabilities directly to your facility to custom, off-site solutions, Altiras ensures reliable and compliant recycling services. Our offerings are backed by expert evaluation, regulatory and technical guidance, and laboratory analysis, making us the ideal partner for your chemical recycling needs.
Mobile Recycling
Mobile Recycling is a flexible, on-site solution that brings a mobile recycling unit directly to your facility. This approach is ideal for materials such as solvents and other low to medium boiling point chemicals that can be effectively recycled using a single-stage still or “pot-still.” Mobile Recycling works particularly well for volumes ranging from 50,000 to 200,000 gallons annually, including paint and printing solvents.
Altiras provides fully equipped units along with highly trained personnel to carry out recycling operations on-site. Safety is a core priority, and all equipment is compliant with industry safety standards. Mobile Chemical Recycling is cost-effective and offers the convenience of recycling materials right where they are generated, helping to streamline operations and reduce costs associated with transportation.
On-Site Recycling
For companies looking for a more integrated approach, On-Site Chemical Recycling offers a comprehensive solution. Altiras designs, constructs, and installs a recycling unit directly at your facility, ensuring an efficient setup that fits seamlessly into your existing processes. Highly trained operators manage the entire recycling process, while maintaining strict adherence to your facility’s procedures and regulations.
This solution is best suited for high-volume recycling needs, typically exceeding 200,000 gallons per year. On-Site Recycling provides a seamless recycling process that not only maximizes efficiency but also enhances economic returns. When the value of the recovered products exceeds $1 million per year, On-Site Recycling can provide substantial long-term savings and sustainability benefits.
Off-Site Recycling – Customized Solutions
When standard recycling solutions are not viable, Altiras offers Customized Off-Site Facility Solutions. This involves designing, constructing, financing, and operating specialized facilities to maximize the use of your coproducts, byproducts, or used materials. These customized facilities are particularly advantageous for high-value projects, where potential revenue and cost avoidance exceed $2-3 million per year.
This solution offers a unique and economically beneficial way to recycle and repurpose materials that we would otherwise discard through a tailored approach. Our dedicated team works closely with you to design a facility that meets your unique requirements, ensuring that the recycling process is both effective and economically feasible.
Off-Site Recycling
Altiras offers Off-Site Recycling through partnerships with third-party processors or at specialized Altiras-operated facilities. Off-Site Chemical Recycling suits companies that find in-house recycling impractical or lack necessary on-site equipment.
Our established network of third-party facilities effectively recycles your materials while ensuring compliance with regulations across different states. We manage every aspect of Off-Site Recycling, from coordinating logistics to overseeing regulatory requirements. Additionally, off-take agreements are available for customers who prefer not to reuse recycled products themselves, providing a comprehensive recycling solution.
