At Blue Phoenix, we see opportunities where others see waste.
We convert incinerator bottom ash (IBA) from waste incineration into a valuable resource that can replace traditional gravel in road construction and civil engineering. IBA contains, among other things, glass, stone and metals, which we carefully sort and recycle. This both saves on natural raw materials and creates new value from what we would otherwise throw away.
With more than 30 years of experience in the treatment and recycling of IBA in Denmark, we have developed one of the world's probably most advanced treatment solutions for IBA. Our plant is specially developed to sort metals from IBA, which means that we extract very high-quality metal and can sort large quantities of IBA in a short time. IBA is processed into a cleaner material that can be used under roads and buildings, and iron/metals are sold to, among others, the automotive and electronics industries.
We turn waste into a resource – and experience into the basis for the more sustainable infrastructure of the future.
IBA generated by waste incineration contain metals that we extract and process. We can supply metals of the highest quality, suitable for use in the automotive and electronics industries. We can also transform IBA into aggregates that can be used in road construction and other infrastructure projects.
The main product from our IBA process is IBA aggregate (IBAA) – a high-quality secondary material used as a recovery material. With IBA aggregate, you are guaranteed an economic gain compared to the use of virgin materials. The material has a high load-bearing capacity and is weather-resistant. This makes it an excellent alternative to natural raw materials when constructing, for example, municipal and state road structures.
We place great emphasis on high quality in our end products. At our primary IBA processing plant in Kolding, we process the metals we extract using eddy current technology into more than 50 different fractions. The plant is being expanded and further developed continuously to ensure optimal separation of metals from IBA from waste incineration. We can be operational with you in as little as 3 months. We buy and sell metals from waste incineration plants such as copper, brass, aluminum, zinc, stainless steel and scrap iron.
We offer high-quality metals, such as aluminum, suitable for the production of aluminum cans and foil. In addition, we offer an even higher quality with different levels of copper and silicon, suitable for use by automotive and electronics manufacturers. By choosing Blue Phoenix recycled metals, you gain a number of benefits:
Our mobile IBA recycling plants are designed with operational reliability and high performance in mind. With our mobile plants, we bring the solution for recycling IBA from waste incineration directly to your location. The plant can be seamlessly integrated into your existing plant and monofill operation. We offer either a complete IBA recycling solution or modular components that can improve existing recycling rates and performance.
We can deliver the right solution for any project and ensure the safe and reliable use of recycled materials in construction. Our aggregates are used throughout Denmark and are recognized for their proven performance, high quality and compliance with the strictest environmental and regulatory requirements.
