Taking back production residues

The voluntary take-back of production residues is an environmentally friendly concept in which we take back used or no longer required tin and lead residues in order to recycle or reprocess them in an environmentally friendly manner.

We gladly take it back.

We carefully process substances containing lead, tin and antimony, even if they have been contaminated with copper, and then pass them on for re-use. Substances such as dust, slurry and dross also get a whole new start with us, as do slag, salt and furnace deposits. We work reliably and in accordance with all laws and provisions.

Ensuring correct disposal is an issue that is important to any company that processes lead-free and/or lead-containing solders.

The list of legal obligations for producers of waste is long:

Submission of a disposal record to the authorities
Reporting of the waste production to the relevant authorities
Maintenance of a verification log regarding the removal of hazardous waste > 2 t /a in electronic format (eANV - German electronic record procedure for waste management)
Transport approval for all transportation using an approved freight forwarding company with carrier number

The benefit for you: You don’t need to worry about reporting the waste to the authorities or about transport approvals, disposal records or additional verifications. We do it all for you: digital documentation, guaranteed compliance with legal requirements and free of charge as part of the voluntary return programme as per Section 26 of the German Closed Substance Cycle and Waste Management Act (Kreislaufwirtschaftsgesetz - KrWG).

Examples of hazardous waste

For us,
sustainable recycling
is a top priority.

In accordance with Section 26 of the German Closed Substance Cycle and Waste Management Act (Kreislaufwirtschaftsgesetz - KrWG), we are permitted to take back any hazardous waste generated from our products. The benefit for you: You will be exempt from the obligation of providing verification regarding disposal. When you receive your old metal statement, you will also receive the corresponding acceptance receipt which also serves as verification. You can also use this service when you want to decommission a machine, exchange solder baths or recycle old stock. We provide the necessary containers free of charge. Not yet one of our customers? We will happily provide you with comprehensive, non-binding advice. We will also gladly send you the official approval notice for the exemption in accordance with Section 26 of the KrWG (Kreislaufwirtschaftsgesetz - German Closed Substance Cycle and Waste Management Act).

FAQ about buying and selling metals

We use advanced analytical methods to determine the exact proportion of tin and other metals in your materials.

The price is based on the current market value of the tin contained and the degree of purity and quantity of the material supplied.

We provide special containers, our so-called dross buckets, in which the resulting material can be collected. After consultation, we will take care of the transportation to us.

The purchased materials are recycled in our smelter to recover pure tin and other metals for reuse in industry.

Diagnostics in our own laboratory

Precision guaranteed

Metals and scrap containing tin, lead and antimony are valuable raw materials that can be optimally reused with the necessary know-how and appropriate technologies. The prerequisites for this are a sustainable full recycling concept, expertise and a trained team. Based on boiler or furnace samples, we use standardized and calibrated laboratory and analysis technology to carry out precise analyses of the materials.
