Can you help sben members Recital by avoiding sending dust to be incinerated when we know it can be reused!

Recital are a manufacturer of PUR Insulation boards for the construction industry based in Meir Park Stoke on Trent. In the process of manufacture, all boards are sawn to size the saw dust is extracted away and briquetted, this then goes to an Energy recovery Facility, we create around 650-700 tonnes of dust per year.

Nothing has been sent to landfill since 2015 however we would like to move this up the waste hierarchy and find a use for the dust.

We know there are facilities in Europe that convert this dust into other items I have attached a photo of recompressed dust which is from a recycling company in Italy and a link to Puren in Germany who take dust from our sister sites in Belgium and France, this is pressed into boards, they also compact dust into a panel and cover in vinyl to create partition walls for toilet blocks etc.

We are looking for someone in the UK who can do something similar, as transporting to the continent is not feasible.

Staffordshire University offer support for SME businesses however we do not qualify for this however for any SME interested in a new project this support could be available, link below.
