Meldgaard Recycling of Aabenraa, Denmark is sending a mobile plant to Portugal to process 30.000 tons of incinerator bottom ash (IBA). The company is a processor of IBA and in 2018 opened its own factory to build equipment.
Meldgaard said that in December and January the mobile plant will be separating ferrous and non-ferrous metals from the bottom ash received from waste-to-energy plants. The produced ash aggregate is then to be used in the Portuguese building industry and eliminates the need for bottom ash disposal.

“This means that all incinerated waste is 100% recycled. The ferrous and non-ferrous metals are sent directly to smelters where they are recycled.”
A statement from the company added: “Meldgaard Recycling has been selected to exhibit the best possible way to handle bottom ash. Another factor is that the mobile plants can be relocated to wherever the bottom ash needs to be processed. For more than 20 years Meldgaard Recycling has been processing bottom ash, thus turning it into a cleaner product to be used in road construction and as an engineering fill.”
Meldgaard Recycling was established by the Meldgaard Group and Director Anders Hedegaard in 2003 and it has about 10 mobile plants operating in Europe and the United States.
