aste Primary Type of Hazardous Waste
The primary type of hazardous waste that leaves Ecolab manufacturing facilities is process waste from vessel rinse outs, equipment cleaning, etc. Generally, this waste is corrosive or flammable, which is why it is deemed hazardous.
Business Waste ProgramsEcolab aims to reduce waste in its operations and in its office buildings. Each of our major campuses has a rigorous office and e-waste recycling program that aims to divert as much waste aspossible from going to landfill. At our production sites, allcardboard is recycled, and other packaging is recycled whenpossible.
