Project Overview
ERG Environmental Services is proud to partner with DiCoat, a leading manufacturer of diamond-coated cutting tools, providing comprehensive waste management solutions for their Southeast Michigan facilities. Recently, DiCoat implemented a new, more environmentally sustainable chemical into one of their manufacturing processes, resulting in a novel waste stream requiring specialized handling. ERG was engaged to ensure the proper characterization, analysis, and compliant disposal of this new waste.
Our team worked closely with DiCoat to navigate the complexities of this new waste stream. Our services included:
- Coordinated Analytical Testing: ERG facilitated thorough chemical waste characterization and analysis to determine the appropriate disposal methods.
- Disposal/Recycling Procedure Development: Based on the analytical results, ERG developed and outlined compliant disposal and recycling procedures.
- Cost/Benefit Analysis Support: ERG provided crucial information to support DiCoat’s internal cost/benefit analysis regarding the new waste management process.
- DOT-Approved Packaging and Assistance: We supplied all necessary DOT-approved packaging materials and provided expert assistance with the proper packing and shipping of the waste.
- Comprehensive Documentation: ERG ensured all required labels and shipping documents were provided, guaranteeing regulatory compliance.
Regulatory Compliance and Customer Value
DiCoat’s new manufacturing process required meticulous attention to regulatory compliance. ERG’s expertise ensured that the resulting waste stream was handled safely and responsibly. Through our partnership, we provided:
- Regulatory Compliance: ERG guaranteed proper waste characterization and disposal, maintaining DiCoat’s adherence to all relevant environmental regulations.
- Waste Stream Characterization: ERG designed and managed the chemical waste characterization and analysis, ensuring accurate identification of the waste’s properties.
- Streamlined Process: By providing all necessary packaging, labeling, and documentation, ERG simplified the waste management process for DiCoat.
