CO₂ emissions reduced through avoided transport.
Repurposed materials
Circular economy gains as material is repurposed into high-value products.
Operational innovation
Storage and handling now maximise sustainability
The Challenge
Our materials manufacturing customer previously shipped hazardous waste containing small amounts of isocyanates overseas for incineration.
The temporary closure of their Waste-for-Energy site highlighted the high costs, environmental impact, and inefficiencies of this approach, prompting a rethink of storage and management practices.
Axil’s Approach
Testing & assessment:
Confirmed that storing the waste in IBCs neutralised isocyanates, transforming it into a non-hazardous resin.
Local processing:
Advanced onsite laboratories enabled safe, local treatment, eliminating transfrontier transport.
Cost & carbon savings:
Disposal costs halved from £1,300 to £700 per tonne, while cutting emissions.
Collaboration & innovation:
Worked with the customer to create a solution that is safe, sustainable, and economically beneficial.
