Environmental Benefits:
In the past this material has been land filled as a class II non-hazardous waste, since the pellets have had no commercial value. Reclaiming zinc will prevent zinc metal from being land filled and save over 20 cubic yards of land fill annually and the associated cost. By reclaiming the zinc contents the zinc metal can be added back in the system as a raw material and reduce manufacturing of virgin zinc.
