OUR LEAD RECYCLING PROCEDURE

• Lead is extracted from a multitude of materials, including scrap lead. Some of the lead comes from off cuts and waste from the manufacturing process.
• Once extracted, the scrap lead is heated in kettles at 450°C. At this temperature, the lead melts and any impurities rise to the surface.
• The impurities are removed and sent off for further processing.
• The final part of the process is to refine the lead to achieve a lead alloy of 99.9% purity.
