Flammable liquids will be bulked and fuel blended, batteries and lamps will be send for recycling ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY WASTE MANAGEMENT METHODS Tradebe's strategy to reduce carbon footprint and fossil fuel use': Protecting the earth through sound waste management has been the focal point of our business since 1986. Every step we take, every innovation we pioneer, every resource we recycle reduces greenhouse gases and lowers carbon footprints for our customers nationwide. Tradebe's strategy to reduce carbon footprint and fossil fuel use includes: • Solid Distillation System (SDS) — This recycling process is an alternative to incineration. It recycles organic compounds and metal. It generates less CO2 emissions than incineration. • Recycling of solvents — This saves raw materials, use of crude oil to manufacture solvents and reduces CO2 emissions from the manufacturing process • Fuel blending — When organics or solvents cannot be recycled or processed through SDS, they are blended into a fuel substitute that is used by cement kilns, replacing fossil fuels Tradebe preferred methods for waste management is in the favored order of recycling/reuse, treatment, incineration and lastly landfill. Tradebe is committed to disposing of waste materials accordingly whenever possible. Tradebe strives to make waste management cost-effective while at the same time matching the client's desire for the safe and responsible management of their waste. Tradebe strives to collect, process, recycle, reclaim, treat, or dispose of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes in the most responsible manner possible while protecting both human health and the environment. Tradebe's preferred waste management method is using the Solid Distillation System (SDS). High BTU, solid hazardous waste may be recycled through SDS or shipped off-site to waste to energy facilities. Tradebe continues to diversify by expanding its capabilities and processes to meet the waste management needs of its customer base. Solid Distillation System (SDS) In 2004 Tradebe pioneered a new patented recycling technology, called the Solids Distillation System (SDS) at our East Chicago, IN TSD facility The SIDS allows Tradebe to process and recover solvents from a solid matrix. The SDS system is the only technology in the US which offers generators an effective and cost- efficient method for recycling organic solid waste that might otherwise be disposed of in a hazardous waste incinerator. The SDS systems work to extract the organics from the waste matrix to recover a viable, reusable product. The process is unique because unlike other thermal processes, the material never contacts the heat source. It is baked rather than burned and the baking drives off volatile and semi-volatile organics. The volatile organics are condensed back to a liquid form and are reclaimed and recycled. The entire system operates with an emission control system to prevent any organic gases or vapors from being released to the environment. IDEM has designated the SIDS as a recycling process and therefore all materials it processes receive a Certificate of Recycling. Hazardous waste processed through the SDS units receive an H020 1 Carbon footprint is the overall amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions associated with a product along its supply-chain and sometimes including use and end-of-life recovery and disposal. Causes of these emissions are, for example, electricity production in power plants, heating with fossil fuels, transport operations, and other industrial and agricultural processes.
