  Vitrium provides an effective, economical means for the recycling of a wide range of waste materials into safe re-useable products. Vitrium’s treatment process,
Vitrification, is an affordable and well tested method of dissolving materials into a glass end product, thus enabling producers with waste by-products to fulfil their Duty of Care obligations.
The end product is an environmentally sound, non-leaching glass which can be made into a variety of products.
The Vitrium concept is for a commercial treatment facility of high integrity operating under an IPPC license. Concentrating on its core materials Vitrium will process a million tonnes a year of contaminated soil, asbestos and spent catalysts producing 300,000 tonnes of usable glass product. Vitrium aim to engineer a safe and robust facility for the recycling of hazardous waste materials, in architecturally designed buildings sympathetic to the local surroundings.
Vitrium’s treatment process is an innovative use of traditional glass
manufacture.
A million tonnes a year of waste will arrive on site by rail in sealed containers. The waste materials will be discharged and passed down through various stages of storage, sorting, pre-treatment, weighing, blending and processing depending upon material type and processing requirements. Materials handling will use isolated and negative pressure environments to ensure local containment.
