I have a few clients that print on textiles. Mostly flag or jersey type materials. Trying to find a home for this stuff and recycle it in Ontario. I know textiles could be used in the Linoleum business back in the day but can't find a home now. These would be clean cut offs. Any help would...

No worries. Better to recycling something than nothing. We find the easiest way is to place the roll in a vice and use a skill saw with a set blade depth so it only takes a few seconds to get to the metal. Take care Dave!

I have come across these rolls at a few locations now and they are becoming more and more popular. I had success with polyester plate recycling and we are recycling them for all of our Ontario clients at no charge. Need a little more time to get this figured out; have faith. I seemed to have...

Petroleum Hydrocarbons Present Petroleum Hydrocarbons Present I dispose of waste HP flammable printing ink from many of our Ontario clients and have sampled this waste stream in the past. I have the MSDS on this ink and it is a petroleum hydrocarbon based ink and imaging oil. Volatile...

Sorry, We accept loads here from anywhere. That is all I can help you with. We seem to be the only company doing this. Perhaps work with your suppliers and see about helping with shipping costs. Sorry, that is the only thing I can think of at this point. Not the most economical but we do...

It's all about the way that you phrase things. For instance, McDonald's claims to use 100% beef in their burgers. This is not a lie, they just don't tell you how much of that 100% is actually placed in each burger. Bit of a reverse example, but just a way to explain that there are many ways...

A little more detail in waste management A little more detail in waste management That is a pretty broad question. Where do I start. Depending on how much waste you are dealing with there are many things that can be done. Proper disposal of waste is very important. Get a reliable carrier...

Any written findings (analytical data) is better than nothing - there is no mention of that there is a different chemical composition created in any manual I have read. As an environmental technologist I need to have a benchmark to start with to see if we are below or above a certain standard...

Neutral Developer Neutral Developer As an environmental technologist working in the printing industry I have to say that anything neutral is much safer to deal with on a health and safety point but that is pretty much where I draw the line. For waste management you have to be very careful...
