Multi-disciplinary approach by Adams

USA – US scrap processor Adams Scrap Recycling will purchase property adjacent to its current location, more than doubling the physical footprint of its operation. The expansion project is expected to cost around US$ 3.2 million and will lead to the creation of 50 new jobs.

While the South Carolina business has been recycling metals for the past two years, the company is seeking to diversify and grow its glass, paper, plastics and electronics recycling activities. The firm already has added a portable car logger, an Envirorack to dispose of hazardous fluids in vehicles, and trucks and trailers to increase efficiency. Rail access also will be added to the new property. Furthermore, the company has purchased a baler and is set to pour cement for the concrete pad at the facility. The company expects the additional equipment to be operational by the end of 2012.

The business anticipates using its existing facility for processing fibre material while the new part of the facility – amounting in size to around five acres – will see a focus on ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
Rodney Adams organised Adams Scrap in October 2009 and Kamal Desor became a partner in the business in January this year.
