Specialist hazardous waste streams require specialist solutions. Whether we're disposing of airbags, recycling batteries, processing catalytic converters or managing pyrotechnic devices, our goal is always the same: protect people, ensure compliance and maximise material recovery wherever possible to maintain the circular economy.
Operating from our bespoke Environment Agency-approved treatment facility in Sheffield, we maintain control throughout the entire process, from collection and transportation through to final treatment and recycling. Our experienced team works to ensure materials are handled safely and with minimal environmental impact.

Airbag Disposal UK was founded to solve a specialist waste challenge: the safe and compliant disposal of automotive airbags. Since then, we've expanded our facilities and technical expertise to support a much wider range of hazardous, regulated and difficult-to-handle waste streams.
Today, we work with manufacturers, waste management companies, facilities management providers and organisations across multiple sectors, delivering specialist solutions for airbags, batteries, pyrotechnic devices, automotive components and other regulated materials. Through our dedicated treatment facilities, compliant transport network, experienced team and environmentally friendly ethos, we help customers manage complex waste safely whilst maximising opportunities for recovery and recycling.
