Summary
This guidance explains the standards (appropriate measures) for facilities with an environmental permit to mechanically treat metal waste in shredders.
Mechanical treatment in shredders includes plant such as:
- hammer mills
- chain mills
- rotary shears
- other similar equipment designed to fragment metal into smaller pieces to separate metallic and non-metallic fractions
Mechanical treatment in shredders includes using the equipment to re-size metal into smaller fragments for logistical or transport reasons.
It does not include shearers and guillotines which use a range of hydraulic machinery with hard steel blades to cut metals into manageable sizes.
