Wiper recycling service premieres nationwide
Tipton, PA
New Pig Corp. and Safety-Kleen Corp. have introduced a nationwide closed-loop wiper recycling service that allows customers to dispose of their used wipers through Safety-Kleen`s waste-to-energy recovery process known as fuels blending. Company officials say the process destroys 99.9999 percent of the hazardous constituents of wiper waste, which eliminates future liability. Used wipers are converted into high Btu fuel, then reused as energy to fire cement kilns in a program that meets EPA recycling regulations 40 CFR 261.6. — TGW
