BMT solidifies its position as the world’s leading mercury waste management specialist
Innovative technology eliminates dangerous transportation of toxic waste
ROTTERDAM – Mercury waste management specialist BMT has taken over the mercury
activities of M&R Claushuis. BMT is expanding its facilities in the Netherlands and
Thailand, while opening two new treatment plants in Australia. With these multi-million
euro investments BMT solidifies its position as the leading waste management specialist
that can now process any kind of mercury waste.
BMT mainly purifies, treats and recycles mercury contaminated waste substances which are
hazardous by-products of the on- and offshore industry. M&R Claushuis is a specialist in the
treatment of products that contain mercury like batteries, energy efficient light bulbs and
medical equipment. The activities of M&R Claushuis in the Dutch town of Zeewolde will be
relocated to BMT’s facilities in the Netherlands, Thailand and Australia. Due to its expansion,
BMT now has enlarged capacity and gained knowledge to also process ‘e-waste’, an
increasing stream of mercury waste that consists out of e.g. old computers, flat screens and
electrical parts.
