Cardboard and paper Recycling
Proskips uses its sorting partners to separate paper and cardboard material from mixed collections. Without any plastic coating cardboard is ultimately biodegradable and compostable, as long as there isn’t too much ink on it. In its shredded form cardboard can be used for animal bedding and to insulate houses. It is also being used in the green marketplace for biodegradable coffins. Cardboard is an excellent material for use in the developing area of waste to energy: creating fuels and power from waste products. It releases twice as much heat per pound of waste compared to other sources, doesn’t release toxic poisons and its only by-product is ash.
Inert or Aggregate Recycling
All inert waste or aggregates including soil, concrete and bricks are reprocessed and reused for future construction projects.
Plasterboard Recycling
Proskips uses a regional network of plasterboard recycling partners that segregate the gypsum core from the backing paper to then be crushed down. The main products from plasterboard recycling are recycled gypsum and shredded paper. This whole process avoids sending waste to landfill and replenishes the stock of primary gypsum material. Recycled Gypsum is also commonly used in agriculture when growing wheat and potatoes, in mushroom framing and in creating lawns or golf greens.
