Due to industrial operations use of significant paint thinner and solvents there is a large amount of hazardous solvent waste. Used solvent as well as paint waste are the largest waste items within paint operations. Hazardous waste is managed by several options in addition to, shipping out to off-site for burning, treating and/or recycling, operations may choose to purchase proper equipment to recycle the waste on-site. Lastly as well as unfortunately improperly disposing of hazardous waste. This last one can result is extensive violations and fines and possibly closing the shop by authorities. Both on-site and off-site recycling use a process which waste solvent is distilled to separate and reclaim solvent from the waste paint or solvent mixture. Recycling solvent on-site helps shops reduce regulatory requirements and future liability.
Off-Site Recycling
When shipping solvent waste off-site, one must look for a facility that processes waste solvent and returns clean solvent back to the shop. If unable to locate a facility in your area, search for facilities that recycle for reuse as cleaning or other solvent, not fuel. Another option, choose a recycler or hazardous waste management facility that is permitted by Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) and check their compliance history.
