A recycling alternative to disposal
- Encycle/Texas, Inc., Corpus Christi, TX (United States)

In the course of producing a final metal product, smelters, refineries, and other metallurgical facilities produce wastes which often come under the scrutiny of Federal and state regulatory agencies. Many of these wastes contain combinations on zinc, copper, lead, cadmium, nickel or other metals. Frequently in the form of reverts, dusts, or sludges, these metal-containing wastes are often buried in a landfill or speculatively accumulated for future action. Environmental liability can be reduced in many cases by selecting a recycling facility which can re-process the waste for metal recovery. Encycle, at its hydrometallurgical facility Corpus Christi, has successfully processed a variety of metallurgical by-products and wastes and returned those contained metals to commerce.
