INTRODUCING HAZPAK

The MacLean Environmental Division is focused on recycling flammable products including aerosol cans, pharmaceutical inhalers and BBQ propane tanks. HazPak captures liquids and gases in their entirety, preparing them for waste-to-energy applications in a near zero emissions environment. Steel and aluminum bricks are ejected from the machine as non-hazardous materials and are accepted at scrap metal businesses around the world.

With eight installations in operation, each HazPak is tailored to our customer’s unique, site-specific requirements, resulting in no two machines being the same. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience in the aerosol recycling industry with installations throughout North America and Europe. Whether you have strict environmental regulations, limited facility space or unique recycling volumes, our team will make sure each condition is met.

You can rest easy knowing that HazPak keeps hazardous waste out of landfills, eliminates greenhouse gases, and harnesses the benefits of waste-to-energy with the remaining product propellant. The HazPak recycling equipment continues to be a proven staple in the waste industry with 75,000+ hours of operation.

LEARN MORE

The MacLean HazPak technology is a complete, turn-key system for the safe and efficient disposal of aerosol cans and hazardous waste, using an inert nitrogen technology that is exclusive to MacLean and considered Best Available Technology (BAT) in the industry. Unlike the Carbon Capture process that only captures the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that gasses emit, HazPak captures gasses in their entirety, preparing them for waste-to-energy applications in a zero emissions environment.
