How Our Recycling Program Works

Step 1

If not already obtained or not current (within 12 months), we help our customers acquire laboratory analysis of the spent abrasive. This is done to ensure environmental safety, recycling suitability, and establish the material as Class 2 Non-Hazardous Industrial Waste. KanAgg only contracts with accredited, independent laboratories.

KanAgg prides itself on simplicity and efficiency. We are able to provide our customers with fully turnkey, per ton pricing. This helps them more accurately plan for the expense and stay on budget with each project.

Step 2

Upon laboratory confirmation and establishment of Class 2 status, we’re ready to get started. Each customer receives a single invoice from KanAgg that accounts for all associated charges (recycling center, transportation costs, etc.). In order to ensure the highest levels of responsibility, KanAgg only utilizes state-approved recycling centers. Each invoice received is accompanied by a certified scale ticket.

Step 3

At no cost to the customer, KanAgg will generate and submit all necessary recycling notifications to the appropriate state agency (if required). This free service allows our customers to not get bogged down in the paperwork and to have total peace of mind!

There are no hidden fees, add-ons, or other extraneous charges, such as “drop charges,” “box rental,” “fuel surcharge,” etc. You’re only invoiced for each net ton recycled. It’s really as simple and straightforward as that! At no cost to the customer, KanAgg will generate and submit all necessary notifications. This allows our customers to not get bogged down in the paperwork and to have total peace of mind!

Why Should You Recycle Your Spent Abrasives?

KanAgg Green Initiative Recycling Spent Abrasive

Recycling spent abrasives offers several benefits for businesses, both from an environmental and economic standpoint. Here are some reasons why a business should consider recycling their spent abrasives:

1. Environmental Responsibility: Recycling spent abrasives helps reduce waste and minimizes the environmental impact of their disposal. Instead of sending the used abrasive material to a landfill, recycling ensures that valuable resources are recovered and reused, reducing the need for new raw materials.

2. Cost Savings: Recycling spent abrasives can result in significant cost savings for businesses. By reusing the abrasive material, companies can reduce the need to purchase new abrasives for their operations, leading to lower expenses in the long run.

3. Regulatory Compliance: In many regions, there are regulations and guidelines governing the proper handling and disposal of abrasive waste. Recycling spent abrasives can help businesses comply with these regulations, avoiding potential fines or penalties associated with improper waste management.

4. Resource Conservation: Spent abrasives often contain valuable materials that can be recovered and used again. Recycling allows businesses to extract those materials, such as metallic components, and reintroduce them into the production cycle. This conserves natural resources and reduces the demand for virgin materials.

5. Energy Efficiency: Recycling spent abrasives generally requires less energy compared to producing new abrasives from raw materials. Recycling processes often involve cleaning, sorting, and reprocessing, which typically consume less energy than the extraction, processing, and manufacturing required for new abrasives.

6. Positive Public Image: Demonstrating a commitment to sustainability and responsible waste management can enhance a business’s reputation among customers, employees, and the community. Recycling spent abrasives showcases environmental consciousness and social responsibility, which can contribute to a positive public image.
