What Is Beneficial Reuse?
Beneficial Reuse is defined as using a material as a valuable commodity that would otherwise be classified as waste. When beneficially reused without reclamation, spent materials are exempt from solid-waste requirements and are categorized as a product under U.S.A. EPA regulations. Facilities can reuse byproducts or waste materials in their own operations or send them elsewhere for reuse as a fuel or substitute raw material in place of feedstock. Merichem® can help match spent caustic and spent chemicals to commercially appropriate end users in other sectors.
Cost-Effective Sustainability
Beneficial reuse of spent materials is a more environmentally friendly alternative to waste disposal. Our safe, responsible, and cost-effective approach helps our clients achieve hazardous waste minimization goals while eliminating labor intensive handling protocols such as manifesting and record keeping.
Spent materials are reused as a resource in place of other commercially available (virgin) products or feedstocks in other clients’ production processes. We contribute to a circular economy, extending the use of resources and improving HSE impact.
Materials for Beneficial Reuse Management
- Spent Caustic (Sulfidic)
- Spent Potassium Hydroxide (KOH)
- Sodium Hydrosulfide (NaHS)
- Off-spec Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH)
- Off-spec (KOH)
