Industrial manufacturing facilities generate rubber bonded scrap as a byproduct of both production and maintenance. Couplings, anti-vibration mounts, rubber lined components, and bonded wear parts accumulate steadily across equipment-intensive operations, and they rarely fit neatly into a standard scrap program because of the rubber content bonded to the metal.
The typical outcome is that these components get landfilled or sold at a steep discount into mixed scrap streams where the rubber contamination reduces the metal value significantly. PolyMet Recovery offers a direct alternative. We debond and denude rubber from metal components, separating the materials cleanly and settling on the recovered metal at its actual assayed value. For facilities generating these materials consistently, the difference between a PolyMet reclamation program and standard scrap disposal is measurable in both revenue and waste diversion.
Collection can be scheduled around your production cadence, and our intake and settlement documentation supports ISO 14001 reporting and zero-waste-to-landfill tracking. Industrial manufacturers with rubber bonded scrap in their waste stream have a straightforward reclamation option available, one that treats the material as the recoverable resource it actually is rather than a disposal problem.
