| | Jul 9, 2015 — In a new video produced by Eriez® HydroFlow®, Ron Wendt, HydroFlow Product Manager, discusses how investing in a fluid recycling program pays off through reduced costs, liability and environmental impact, improved workplace safety and better employee health. The three-minute video is posted to the company’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/eriez.
Wendt describes the economic advantages of recycling waste coolant. “If you’re not recycling, you’re paying to haul the waste away and refill with brand new coolant. You can save 40 to 60 percent of concentrate by recycling and cut your disposal costs down.”
There is also a legal responsibility that comes with fluid disposal. Wendt advises viewers that the generator of the waste has “cradle to grave” accountability, even if they use a certified disposal company. Therefore, the company that produced the waste can be fined and charged with clean-up costs if disposal is not handled properly.
Recycling fluids also brings employee health and safety benefits. In the video Wendt explains that removing tramp oil from coolant on a regular basis reduces oil mist, improving air quality and reducing slippery floors.
Wendt also discusses fluid disposal from an environmental standpoint. He says, “There is a push to be green, use fewer resources and reduce your carbon footprint; if you’re recycling fluids, you’re going to do that.” He adds, “If you are working to meet ISO 14000 environmental management standards, having a fluid recycling program in place will go a long way toward reaching those goals.”
