Rail fastener assemblies, bogie mounts, suspension components, and cab isolation systems bond rubber or polyurethane to metal. Manufacturers generate production rejects, and depots generate scrap from components replaced on regular maintenance cycles. Most have no clean outlet: the bonded rubber and polyurethane make the parts unsuitable for standard metal recycling, and landfilling wastes the metal.
PolyMet Recovery debonds and denudes rubber from metal. Our collection program converts a recurring disposal cost into reclamation revenue, and reclaimed metal can be re-bonded with fresh rubber or polyurethane to extend component life.
Collection is designed around depot maintenance schedules and supports landfill diversion and reduced mining demand.
