Thanks again for adding CG to Twilight Earth's blog roll. Recycling in the world of chemicals. Waco Chemical just purchased over 7000 pounds of chemicals that was put in our re-cycling program for use in our finished chemical products. For all of 2008, Waco Chemical has re-cycled over 50,000 pounds of chemicals that were formulated into usable products and resold to our customers. Most of these chemicals were dead inventory from large chemical manufacturers, sample drums of chemicals that could not be sold or part drums of material that was still usable but could not be sold due to amounts in drums.

Re-cycling of these products yield important factors for the environment. 1. Chemicals are not being disposed of at a disposal facility which usually means burying. 2.
