The service was established with the primary aim of prolonging the life of the repository through diverting metallic waste away from disposal at the LLWR to treatment providers with the capability of processing the metallic waste to enable it to be recycled into new products or conditioned for optimised disposal. In line with the UK Government’s Solid LLW Strategy and the Waste Management Hierarchy, this provides a more sustainable solution and extends the life of the LLWR site by reducing the volume of waste requiring disposal.
