Ballast Recycling

• PCB/DEHP containing capacitors are removed from cover materials
• Capacitors are sent to an EPA approved incineration facility via hazardous waste hauler
• Hazardous capacitors are properly incinerated, which eliminates generator liability.
• Non-hazardous materials (copper, steel) are separated for reclamation

When processing is complete, we issue your company a Certificate of Recycling that verifies proper disposal.

Managing ballast recycling is another significant procedure in avoiding waste products. For example, ballasts which are common in lighting fixtures can be potential sources, at the end of their life, of valuable materials that could be reclaimed. Firstly, by utilizing the idea of ballast recycling, we save resources. Moreover, this company will have minimal adverse environmental effects when disposing of hazardous components.

The procedures are as follows:

• Collection: Used ballasts are gathered from various sources, like buildings or industrial sites.
• Sorting: The ballasts are sorted into categories, typically magnetic or electronic.
• Dismantling: Ballasts are taken apart to separate different materials, such as metals, plastics, and electronic components.
• Material Recovery: Metals like copper and steel are extracted and sent to recycling facilities. Plastics and other materials are also processed for reuse.
