Solvent Waste Management Inc

Organic solvents have been utilized for a broad scope of applications from paint thinners, adhesives, cleaners, spot removers and even for extracting essential oils. Though there are various uses of organic solvents, from being extremely toxic if ingested or inhaled, to being flammable and even explosive, the most important thing to note is that it is not biodegradable and hence disposal in landfills or by incineration in incinerators will further add to the burden of environmental pollution.  What Classifies an Organic Solvent? Organic solvents are organic chemicals that dissolve or otherwise alter substances to produce solutions with low viscosity. Solvents evaporate easily. In simple terms, a solvent is a liquid that dissolves other substances. There are several types of organic solvents, with most being flammable and volatile. Organic solvents are made of hydrogen and carbon atoms. A solvent is considered organic if it contains carbon, which usually gives the liquid certain cha...

As companies look for cost savings, they are increasingly looking for ways to reuse solvents rather than discard them .   Many manufacturing companies rely on solvents. Not recycling them means higher processing costs and a negative impact on the environment. When companies store their solvents on site, they avoid the cost and liability associated with shipping hazardous chemicals offsite, plus they avoid paying a toll processor or an incinerator. Unlike a toll processor, when you use a dedicated waste solvent recovery system, it’s for one specific task — recovering waste solvents generated on site. This means you won’t have to worry about your solvents being contaminated with unknown substances. The benefits are clear: In addition to being less expensive, recovering solvents on site leads to better quality control.    What is Solvent Recycling? Solvent recovery is the single most effective way to improve your solvent usage, cut costs, and protect the environment. But wha...

Solvent recovery is one of the most important recycling methods for companies across a broad range of industries to reduce their carbon footprint by reducing their waste production. Solvent recovery is also a more cost effective alternative to disposing spent solvent and purchasing virgin solvent.  While the world focuses more on trending green initiatives and concepts, companies like Solvent Washer are focusing on putting sustainability into practice with  effective recycling systems . Whether your company wants to move towards a more carbon neutral state, reduce overhead costs (on both virgin solvent purchases and disposal costs of waste solvents) or simply wants to find a more reliable solution to replace solvent disposal, having a solvent recovery system in place can meet both these needs, and more! There are few end-of-pipe pollution control methods as effective as solvent recovery, and many businesses are able to dramatically reduce their expenditure on virgin materials ...
