Plate Waste Recovery Service from Flint Group
The service is simple and easy to use. Cubic yard corrugated containers are provided to the customer. As plate waste is accumulated, raw plates, coversheets, and used printing plates—with or without mounting tape affixed—are placed in these containers. When the containers are full, the customer calls a toll free number, and the containers are picked up by a licensed waste service provider and replaced with new ones. Title to the waste immediately transfers to the disposal company, which responsibly takes the waste plates and uses it for their energy content in the production process in the making of cement. The process involves 100 percent recycling of the waste; even the ash content after incineration becomes part of the cement product, whereas in a landfill it would consume space and might linger for many years.
