Recycle your refractory tear-out for less than landfill.
We collect spent high-alumina brick and alumina support balls from relines and catalyst changeouts and send them back into refractory production. Every job is documented with a Landfill Diversion Certificate.
A better line item for refractory disposal
Set up before the unit comes down, with no change to your reline plan or contractor scope.
Lower cost than landfill
A per-ton rate below your current tip fees, hauling and waste profile costs, quoted job by job.
Auditable diverted tons
Tons, grade, test results and the final recycler on one certificate, ready for ESG and waste reporting.
No turnaround risk
We stage containers and haul on your contractor's schedule. No extra crew on the unit.
