Turning Stockpiles Into Profit: Solutions from the Washing Industry

Turning Stockpiles Into Profit: Solutions from the Washing Industry
The materials processing and recycling industries are constantly grappling with the challenge of effectively managing millions of tonnes of waste from various streams including construction, demolition and excavation waste, commercial and industrial waste, plus by-products of their production activities. Whilst progress has been made in recent years to repurpose this waste, a significant portion ends up in landfills, or stockpiled on site, causing environmental harm and missed opportunities for resource recovery. Allied with the depletion of natural resources and the particular focus of authorities and private business globally on reducing carbon emissions, intelligent washing solutions are viewed as a key solution.

Over the past decade, the washing industry has enabled various industries to transform what was previously considered waste by-products, into profitable resources. This shift not only promotes sustainability but also opens up new revenue streams for businesses. Bruce Materials Processing Solutions are now at the forefront, helping companies move towards a circular economy by maximising the value of their stockpiles with robust washing plants, built to withstand vigorous working environments.

The Challenge of Stockpile Waste

Ever increasing and stringent material specifications contribute to the production of byproducts from production processes and these materials are often viewed as “waste” or low value material. Traditionally, these materials were stockpiled on site, representing both a logistical and environmental challenge.

The Future of Stockpile Management

With the advancements in washing technology, these waste materials are now recognised as valuable and profitable resources. As the demand for cost-effective and sustainable solutions continues to grow, the washing industry is set to play a crucial role in reshaping how businesses manage their waste products and stockpiles.

Recently Installed Bruce Washplant

By investing in a C&D wash plant, we are now capable of diverting up to 250,000 tons of waste, per year from landfill. This will also reduce strain on our natural aggregate minerals in quarries by re-selling the material into the local construction industry.
