Alpha solder recycle service waste streams:
To help our customers meet their legislative and environment requirements we are registered as an official waste handling partner for solder related waste. We offer advice of effective solder recycling in order to meet all legislative requirements and to maximise the return offered to our customers. Our reclaim and disposal procedures are key to making the solder recovery process as easy as possible and we provide all the necessary containers to ensure that the solder waste is labelled clearly. We provide waste solder dross buckets that are metal with a locking lid, the buckets are also of a size that allows them to be manual handled. Waste solder paste is often disposed as a standard waste product, we can offer specific containers to harvest the waste paste and recycle it to achieve an excellent return for our customers.
Our waste is exclusively processed by MacDermid Alpha in the state of the art facilities and we can offer full traceability by lot numbers and complete audit trails as would be expected from a premier licenced waste transport carrier and re-processor.

- Wave Solder Dross and Hot Air Solder Level Dross (HASL Dross) – Oxidation particles that form on the surface of molten metal (solder). This material can be skimmed off and recycled.
- Solder Paste – Paste that has expired its shelf life or been removed from the stencil
- Empty Paste Jars and Cartridges
- Solder Bar and Wire – Expired bar solder and wire
- Pot Dump and Contaminated Solder Bath – From wave and selective soldering machines. Generated primarily by wave solder or pre-tinning operations. When metallic impurities in the solder reach the critical level, problems such as dull or grainy joints appear, the solder bath is then emptied and refilled with the new solder.
- Processed Anodes – Portion of anodes remaining after being consumed in an electroplating operation. Since there is little contamination of the alloy, high metallic return can be expected in the recycling process.
- Solder Ingots and Industrial Alloys – Other scrap Tin alloys such as SnCu, SnAg, SnAgCu, SnPb, SnPbAg, SnBi, SnSb etc
- Argomax® Scrap
