How Balcan started the whole Lamp Disposal and Lamp Recycling Industry in 1980.
Since 1980, Balcan has developed and produced the widest range of models and
sizes of
lamp crushers for available in the UK - eight in total. They are specially designed to overcome
the variety of hazards, including mercury emissions, associated with the reduction
and disposal of unwanted lamps. The lamp crusher designs and specifications have
always complied with the safety recommendations made to Balcan, by the Health
and Safety Executive (HSE), the former Department of Environment (DoE) and Her
Majesty's
Inspectorate of Pollution (HMIP), now the Environment Agency (EA).
Since the mid 90’s, Balcan has offered their Complete crush, on-site lamp crushing
& disposal service (now the Balcan mercury lamp recycling service) for fluorescent
tubes and all other types of mercury & sodium containing waste lamps. In 2001 they designed and manufactured
their own Lamp & Bulb Recycling plant. The Balcan
Lamp Recycling Plant produces some of the cleanest glass available from lamp & bulb recycling
and has markets
for all the by-products.
With the current WEEE Directive, Balcan Lamp Recycling . Balcan can offer its
clients a number of options for their waste lamp problems, including its lamp
crushers, on-site lamp disposal & lamp recycling service and
storage containers for fluorescent tubes and all other types of waste lamps.
Existing users of Balcan Lamp crushers can have their machines adapted with the
new dry filter unit, to enable the crushed lamps to be recycled.
Balcan lamp & bulb crushers are probably the safest lamp crusher to use,
with all lamps being fully encased prior to crushing, a requirement of the UK
Health & Safety Executive.
