- INMETCO processes nickel, chromium, iron and cadmium waste materials.
- The expansion will allow the company the ability to process a greater volume of steel waste and batteries.
Dive Insight:
INMETCO anticipates the expansion will be finished by the second half of 2016, but expects to see benefits from the early phases of the project in the first quarter of next year. The expansion will allow the company to satisfy the demand to process additional waste by increasing its capacity by 15%.
