SOLVENT RECOVERY

LEADING COMPANY: CLEAN HARBORS EVP & PRESIDENT, SAFETY-KLEEN SUSTAINABILITY SOLUTIONS: BRIAN P. WEBER HEADQUARTERS: MASSACHUSETTS, US EMPLOYEES: 25,200

Harbors offers solvent recovery through its Safety-Kleen service. The company cleans up used solvents and returns them to the market.

Solvents are distilled to remove contaminants, producing product-grade solvent again. Recycling these solvents can reduce hazardous waste along with the associated transport and paperwork.

This could include chemicals like acetone, alcohols, ketones and aromatics and helps manufacturers to lower virgin use.
