Drastic reduction in usage and cost

A South Carolina company which specializes in the manufacturing of bearings and other various fine tool developments. Previously, the company was purchasing approximately 25,000 absorbent wipes per week for their workers to use in the manufacturing process. The wipes (once soiled) were sent to a landfill for disposal, and new wipes had to be purchased to replace them.

IAS’s absorbent recycling program created for the company's site allowed for a drastic reduction in absorbent wipe usage, significant cost savings, and the complete removal of any items going into the landfill. For 2013, this company estimated that IAS’s recycling service will save 50% of what they spent in 2012.

Eliminate the liability of employees throwing gas soaked absorbents in trash

A petroleum transporting company provides thousands of customers gasoline in several states weekly. It is a large task for this transporter based in North Carolina. The secret to being an effective transporter is to work out of regional terminals and this can create logistical nightmares when trying to deal with oily absorbent mats used at the terminals during the transfer.

To help alleviate this frustration, Industrial Absorbent Solutions (IAS) created a custom recycling plan that would allow each terminal to act independently and recycle the soiled absorbents (as needed). The recycling program is a great cost savings measure for the terminals and an added bonus for the company’s waste minimization plan. But most importantly, it simplified the program and relieved the company from the liability of drivers disposing of the saturated absorbents in the landfill.

The cost savings varies from terminal to terminal, but on the average, each terminal is saving almost 30% with IAS’s recycling program.
