As one of the world ’ s leading processors of Incinerator Bottom Ash ( IBA ), Blue Phoenix is responsible for diverting millions of tons of waste material each year from landfills . Working closely together with partners in the Energy-from-Waste ( EfW ) sector , the company has made great strides towards its mission of building a sustainable future . Blue Phoenix takes the residue ash from an EfW facility , separates the ferrous and non-ferrous metals , and produces an IBA Aggregate ( IBAA ) that is circled back into the economy and used as a sustainable alternative to primary aggregates . Having seen success throughout the UK , Europe and the US , Blue Phoenix is now looking to expand its horizons even further , as Chief Executive Officer , Paul Knight , explains : “ There are strong markets for IBA operations across Europe , and we ’ re now working toward expanding globally into new and developing markets . We ’ ve most recently built Australia ’ s first IBA processing facility , in 2022 , working handin-hand with Australian authorities on the regulation around the safe and responsible use of IBAA in the Australian market .
