Platinum from road dust, Veolia cleans up on British streetsBy Geert De Clercq
PARIS, Dec 2 (Reuters) - French firm Veolia is recycling precious metals worth 100,000 pounds ($155,000) each year from dust swept off British streets and plans to recover more by opening two new plants.
Every day, catalytic converters in cars spit out minute particles of platinum, palladium and rhodium, which end up in road sweepings gathered by waste recyclers like Veolia.
In the past year, Veolia Environnement’s pilot plant in Ling Hall, close to the central English city of Birmingham, has started to filter out these precious metals from the 40,000 tonnes a year of dust it treats.
“We have a surface mine on our city streets, Estelle Brachlianoff, head of Veolia UK and Ireland, told reporters.
Veolia plans to open two more centres, one close to London and another at a separate location in southern England, to recover precious metals from the 400,000 tonnes of dirt it sweeps off British streets every year.
These could generate 1 million pounds worth of precious metals, it estimates. Veolia is also looking at opening such plants in its domestic French market.
The potential is huge, as Veolia also wants to recycle precious metals from road dirt gathered by other operators, including local authorities.
The primary aim of the three million pound Ling Hall plant is not to mine precious metals, but to remove toxic elements from road debris so that the remaining inert dust can be used in construction and other industries rather than go into landfill.
