Lead limiter launched
June 1st 2006

Project CBC is a British Telecom proposal to manage the 'lead in the air' hazard associated with the disturbance of Cotton Braided Cables. Dry removal of old cables coated with lead-based paint used to result in unacceptable levels of lead in the air.

BT identified Eco Solutions' technology and its Trade Strip products as a means of controlling the hazard. Eco Solutions joined a research programme that included Accenture HRS and the Institute of Occupational Medicine to look at how its products could be used to deliver a solution.

Research included a laboratory examination and a field trial that proved that the technology was a match for the CBC hazard.

The company's Lead Limiter product penetrates through the CBC and encapsulates any lead particles into the product, allowing safe cutting and removal of cables.
