Waste Reduction / ISO 14001 Compliance  
 

Many companies seek to reduce the waste that leaves their facilities. Reducing waste streams reduces or eliminates the possibility of that waste coming back to haunt the generator by having to pay to clean up landfills. Reducing waste just makes good business sense. "Waste" is inefficient.

Reusable - Industrial Towel & Uniform (ITU) products and services are not "waste". As reusables they are not subject to waste regulations. Regulatory agencies view reuseables as the preferred way to handle wastes compared to disposable products.

Because products cleaned for reuse are not waste, they are an immediate step toward ISO 14001 compliance

SorbIts® are the first launderable absorbent products in the US. SorbIts® eliminate the waste stream associated with clay, paper or other disposable absorbents and wiping products. SorbIts® are reusable.

No Waste - ITU products are terrific alternatives to throw away paper products. They minimize the risk of oil or solvent laden material being sent to a landfill.

ITU's glove, tension pad, and filter bag cleaning delivers the same environmental and cost savings benefits in ISO 14001 waste reduction compliance.  

No Manifests - When soiled products reach ITU, they are processed to produce marketable by-products, virtually no waste. Oils and solvents are processed and recovered so that they can be sold as non-hazardous secondary fuel. They are not a waste.



ITU generates NO hazardous waste from laundry operations. In 2004 as a result of processing ITU prevented the disposal of 7,912,625 pounds of solid waste and 225,000 gallons of oil and solvents.
