Environmental Benefits:
Class 1 ODC's and all but one Class 2 ODC's have been eliminated. The conveyor cleaning process has reduced both the use of isopropyl alcohol and the generation of isopropyl alcohol waste. The old cleaning processes created hazardous waste, while the new semi-aqueous processes result in a Class-1 waste. In addition, the new processes have eliminated our need for labeling products manufactured with ODC's.
