services , which is essentially a method of pollution control . Our Research and Innovation ( R & I ) team are continuously looking at new ways to implement IBA , so that it can be used on a smaller scale in countries where the legislation is more stringent .
“ For example , we have developed an innovative wet processing solution to assure the right quality output in line with regulation for the Green Deal in The Netherlands . We use in-house developed and patented technologies in combination with industry-standard equipment to design and build efficient processing installations . The clean aggregates produced are suitable for civil work and can be used without restrictions in The Netherlands . For other regions , we adopt a similar approach with our dry processing technologies .”
Cost-effective material
Blue Phoenix operates 26 facilities globally , with an excess of 3.5 million tons of waste material every year being turned into secondary aggregates than can be used in a variety of applications . Paul explains : “ Sustainability is at the heart of our business ; with significant investment committed to reducing the carbon emissions of our own operations , as well as engaging with stakeholders to better communicate the benefits of using recycled metals and secondary aggregates .” IBAA is an extremely cost-effective material when compared to primary aggregates and Blue Phoenix is working towards a verified Carbon Footprint . There are also advantages logistically when using IBAA due to the low density of the material allowing for fewer vehicle movements as this gives volumetric advantages over primary materials .
Working on a global scale , and processing millions of tons of materials
This group has a long-standing future ahead of it , supported by multiple investments into other divisions that all complement one another
coming from various sources of varying quality , Blue Phoenix ’ s operations requires constant innovation to maintain a reliable output . Paul shares some insight into Blue Phoenix ’ s approach to innovation : “ At the group level , we have a research and development team . They are focused on looking for new technologies and ccemagazine . com 57
