GRR! Aerosol Recycling Process

GRR! Aerosols, a Division of Giant Resource Recovery-Attalla, Inc., offers the only system that disposes of waste aerosols by recycling 100% of the hazardous components within our integrated family of companies. Our unique waste management process minimizes the risks, burdens, and liabilities associated with the disposal of aerosols while making an immediate impact on the sustainability and recycling objectives our customers demand.

We recycle hazardous, universal, non-hazardous, empty, and non-empty aerosol waste in full compliance with all applicable RCRA, EPA, and state regulations. Since 2008, more than 150,000,000lbs aerosol have been safely recycled.

GRR! Aerosols’ large volume recycling process safely crushes aerosol metal containers and separates them into three recyclable components. The liquids are captured and blended into a waste supplemental fuel and burned as a one-to-one replacement for fossil fuels in the production of Portland Cement. The fuel-type propellants are burned as fuel, as a replacement to Natural Gas, in the on-site drum reconditioning operation that prepares drums for reuse or steel recycling. Closing the loop, the reclaimed metal is reused in recycled metal products. All consumer packaging is recycled where feasible or utilized as a solid fuel. Our recycling process is ZERO LANDFILL.

Steel aerosol cans are made from an average of 25% recycled materials. GRR! Aerosols enhance the environmental advantages of aerosol packaging through recycling. With a focus on sustainable packaging & practices and environmental sensitivity, GRR! is a leader in aerosol recycling safety and compliance. For late 2023, GRR! Aerosols processing line will be expanding and diversifying to meet the needs of our customers.
