A pretensioner is a small energetic device fitted to a large quantity of recoverable material. The webbing, buckle, retractor housing and mountings can all be recycled, but the pyrotechnic charge must be dealt with under controlled conditions first.

Our service supports the disposal of complete seat belt assemblies and individual pretensioner units, whether removed during repair and servicing, recovered from end-of-life vehicles or held as warranty, returned or recalled stock. We support organisations handling occasional quantities alongside those managing ongoing volumes across multiple sites.
Every project is handled by qualified personnel with extensive experience in automotive safety systems and hazardous waste management.
We begin by assessing the quantity, type and location of the assemblies requiring disposal. Once requirements have been confirmed, we supply suitable containers and coordinate collection and transportation using approved procedures for hazardous materials.
Assemblies are then transferred to our specialist processing facility, where pyrotechnic components undergo controlled destruction. Following neutralisation, recyclable materials including metals, plastics and textiles are separated and directed into appropriate recycling streams.
Throughout the process, all movements and activities are documented to provide a complete and transparent audit trail from collection through to final disposal.

Seat belt pretensioners are classified as dangerous goods in transport and carry specific storage and handling requirements on site. Our processes are designed to meet strict environmental, transportation and hazardous waste requirements while maintaining the highest levels of operational security.
By recovering recyclable materials wherever possible, we help organisations reduce environmental impact while meeting their compliance and sustainability obligations.
Automotive pyrotechnics are our core specialism. With more than 25 years of experience, ADR transport capability and industry-leading expertise in automotive safety systems, we are trusted by businesses across the UK to handle waste streams that others cannot.
Our qualified technicians, specialist facilities and fully traceable processes mean the entire chain sits with a single provider rather than being passed between subcontractors.
