What are waste solvents?
Waste solvents are used or expired organic solvents — such as thinners, diluents, alcohols, ketones and chlorinated solvents — released during cleaning, degreasing, production and the paint and printing industry. They are usually flammable and/or harmful and must be collected separately in approved packaging and processed. IAM arranges the entire process.
Which solvents do we collect?
