Waste or Environmental Source


	Waste or Environmental Source
	Your choices are...
	Asbestos		Asbestos is a naturally occurring fibrous silicate mineral that was widely used a filler and reinforcement in materials due to its strength, chemical, insulative ability and thermal stability. Common types of asbestiform minerals include chrysotile, amosite and crocidolite. Chrysotile was the source for 95% of asbestos used industrially. When separated or milled the minerals breakdown in long, threadlike fibers. Asbestos causes lung cancer when the fibers are inhaled. Older pipe or thermal insulation in factories or buildings still contains asbestos, which requires professional abatement or removal.
	Auto / Vehicular Wrecks		Supplier has the capability to process automobile wrecks or vehicular waste. Wrecks often require disassembly and separation of part or materials
	Batteries		Supplier has the capability to recycle or reclaim batteries. Lithium, nickel cadmium, sulfuric acid and lead are common materials used in batteries manufacturing. Lead is a metal with a low melting point, a high density, and low hardness. Lead and lead alloys are used in balancing weights, radiation shielding, battery electrodes and solders.
	Brownfield / Plant Sites		Vacant industrial or commercial properties that are difficult to sell purchase and repurpose due the real or imagined perception of site contamination from past manufacturing activities.
	Building Materials / Construction Sites		Supplier has the capability to process waste or scrap building materials, demolition debris and excavated earth from construction sites.
	Electronics Waste / Scrap Computers		Supplier has the capability to process electronics waster and scrap computers. Computers and electronics can contain higher level of heavy metals and other hazardous materials, which requires special handling.
	Emissions / Air Pollution (Radon, Fumes, etc.)		Air pollutants or emissions form factory or natural sources such as radon, methane, sour gas, carbon monoxide or other hazardous gases. The gases can be vented away and then scrubbed, incinerated or stored.
	Inorganic Chemicals		Companies synthesize or process inorganic chemicals.
	Landfills		Landfills are specialized sites where wastes or manufacturing by-products were or are intentionally stored or dumped. Containment may have broken down over time due to corrosion or environment breakdown of liners, water table changes and leaching wastes and pollutants.
	Lead / Lead Paint		Lead is a metal with a low melting point, a high density, and low hardness. Lead is toxic and causes brain damage when ingested. Lead and lead alloys are used in lead paint in older facilities, balancing weights, radiation shielding, battery electrodes and solders.
	Lubricants / Greases		Companies synthesize or process lubricants or greases.
	Metals / Elements		Companies synthesize or process metals or high purity elements.
	Mines / Mining Waste		Supplier has the capability to process wastes, by-products and debris from mines.
	Molds / Biological Pollutants		Supplier has the capability to abate molds or other biological pollutants.
	Nanomaterials / Nanoparticles		Nanomaterials consist of particles with an average size of less than 100 nm.
	Nuclear Materials		Companies synthesize or process nuclear materials.
	Oils and Fuels		Companies synthesize or process oils and fuels. Applications include oil refining, re-refining, recovery, and recycling.
	Organic Chemicals		Companies synthesize or process organic chemicals such as alcohols, alfol esters, detergents, fertilizers, glycol ethers, herbicides, halogenated hydrocarbons, insecticides, organometallic compounds, silicone oils, tall oils, turpentine, and waxes.
	Slag / By-products		Supplier has the capability to recycle slag or other by-product waster streams from industrial production processes. Slag waste is often pulverized and used in cement and concrete product to provide a water proof material.
	Soil		Supplier has the capability to process or treat soil or earthen materials.
	Solvents		Companies synthesize or process solvents.
	Spills / Contamination		Contamination of environmental media (air, water, soil) through the unintentional release or spills of oil, chemicals, toxic powders, or other hazardous materials. Non-aqueous liquid spills or contamination can consist of LNAPLs or DNAPLs. LNAPLs are light non-aqueous phase liquids that are sparingly soluble in water and less dense than water. Oil is an example of an LNAPL because it "floats" on top of water and does not mix with water. LNAPLs collect at the water table between surface water and ground water regions. DNAPLs or dense nonaqueous phase liquids include separate-phase hydrocarbon liquids that are denser than water, such as chlorinated solvent, wood preservative wastes, coal tar wastes and pesticides. These collect at the bottom of the aquifer, well or ground water region. Soluble inorganic or heavy metal salt solutions can also contaminate water, soil and building sites.
	Tire / Rubber Scrap		Supplier has the capability to recycle or reclaim tires and rubber scrap. Scrap rubber can be shredded or ground into crumb rubber, which is used as a component in asphalt or paving, sport surfaces, and molded products.
	Toxic / Hazardous Waste		Supplier has the capability to extract and reclaim toxic or hazardous waste such as mercury or other heavy metals.
	Used Equipment		Supplier has the capability to process used equipment. Equipment may require disassembly and separation of part or materials.
	Used Products / Goods		Supplier has the capability to process used products and goods.
	Water		Supplier has the capability to extract, process, clean and/or treat waste water, ground water, surface water, drinking or other water sources taken from industrial or natural sites.
	Specialty / Other		Other unlisted products.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Remediation Capacity


	Run / Batch Size:
	Your choices are...
	Laboratory / Benchtop Scale		Typically, laboratory or benchtop scale means that processing capacity does not exceed a few pounds or a few gallons. Actual quantities vary based on the type of material. For example, laboratory scale quantities may be expressed in milligrams for nanomaterials and specialized biochemical compounds. Usually, one person can easily and safely operate laboratory scale equipment. This category excludes facilities whose function is to produce commercial quantities.
	Pilot Scale		Pilot scale is a small-scale production process that is larger than laboratory scale and used to develop a subsequent full-scale process. Typically, pilot scale quantities are in the range of several drums (e.g., 55-gallon drums) or hundreds of pounds or gallons; however, quantities vary with the density and type of processed material, chemical or product. Pilot scale facilities are better than laboratory scale facilities at simulating production processes and can be used for troubleshooting, improving and optimizing processes.
	Production Lots / Field Scale		Companies have commercial, production, field or industrial scale processing facilities. Typically, the processing ranges are in thousands of gallons or pounds; however, quantities vary by material, chemical, or product.
	Other		Other process scales.

ISO 9002, a certification that has been superseded by ISO 9001:2000, is dedicated to continuous improvement. ISO 13485 covers medical devices, quality management systems and requirements for regulatory purposes. ISO 14000 establishes standards for environmental management, a term that describes a company’s efforts to minimize its harmful effects on the environment and improve its environmental performance. ISO 17025 outlines general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories.
	ISO 9001:2000		ISO 9001:2000 establishes requirements for company quality management systems. Standards range from manufacturing to services such as design, development, production, and installation.
	ISO 14001		ISO 14000 provides an internationally recognized framework for environmental management, measurement, evaluation and auditing. It does not prescribe environmental performance targets, but instead provides organizations with tools for assessing and controlling the impact of activities, products or services on the environment. These standards are designed to be flexible enough to be used by any organization of any size and in any field. They address the following subjects: environmental management systems, environmental auditing, environmental labels and declarations, environmental performance evaluation, and life cycle assessment.
