From Demo to Diverted Waste
How MP Environmental Turns Demolition Into Resource Recovery
At MP Environmental, demolition isn’t just about tearing down—it’s a holistic process built around environmental responsibility, safety, and smart resource recovery.
First Things First: Hazardous Material Removal
Before any structure comes down, MP Environmental conducts thorough site inspections to identify hazardous materials like asbestos, lead-based paint, mold, PCBs, and other toxic substances. These materials are carefully removed using proven techniques—such as dry‑ice blasting for mold and lead paint, and tailored abatement methods for asbestos and PCBs—to ensure safety and regulatory compliance.
Strategic Material Sorting On-Site
Once hazardous components are cleared, our demolition teams systematically sort the remaining materials. Concrete, metal, and certain types of wood are separated for reuse or recycling, while non-recyclable debris is managed responsibly. This meticulous deconstruction strategy significantly reduces the amount of waste destined for landfills and helps conserve resources by keeping useful materials in circulation.
Maximizing Reuse: Up to 99% Diversion
The numbers speak for themselves—MP Environmental often recovers and repurposes up to 99% of materials like concrete, metals, and other reusable components from demolition sites. This staggering diversion rate underscores the company’s commitment to minimizing environmental impact while enhancing cost efficiency.
Safe and Responsible Disposal of the Rest
Any hazardous or non-recyclable materials are handled with the utmost care and transported to certified disposal or treatment facilities. MP ensures full compliance with all relevant environmental regulations, reducing risks, avoiding fines, and safeguarding public health.
