An independent company at
the heart of lead recycling
Métal Blanc is an independent company specialised in recycling lead from waste streams. Based in Bourg-Fidèle in the Ardennes, our plant transforms tens of thousands of tonnes of lead residues every year into high-value secondary resources.
We work towards an industrial model that is circular, clean and responsible, reducing the environmental footprint of the metallurgical sector while ensuring full traceability of our production.
95 % export
Today’s industry can no longer produce like it did yesterday: it must regenerate, protect and anticipate.
Our values, our commitments
We stand for an industrial vision built on concrete principles:
- Usefulness: our activities contribute directly to reducing mining extraction and to treating complex industrial waste.
- High standards: every tonne of recycled lead is tracked, controlled and secured, in line with European regulations.
- Commitment: both on the ground and at European level, we work for a positive environmental impact.
- Independence: we control our sourcing, processes and investments, free from external dependence.

The laboratory ensures the reliability and safety of every step in the lead-recycling process. Through analysis and quality control, the teams make sure that the transformed material meets the most demanding standards and contributes to sustainable, controlled production.
Maintenance
Industrial maintenance is essential to guarantee plant performance. Whether in electromechanics or automation, the teams safeguard equipment availability and actively contribute to the continuous improvement of processes.
Logistics
Logistics is the vital link between production and customers. From flow management to packing and shipping, the teams ensure smooth, reliable organisation that adds value to every tonne of recycled lead.
