Still, some waste is inevitable from purged materials when machines are cleaned between runs, or from out-of-spec products or expired inventory. The result: Stranded inventory and byproducts that need disposal. Traditional methods for disposing of manufacturing waste – either the landﬁll for non-hazardous waste or the incinerator for ﬂammable adhesives – have environmental and economic price tags. That’s where Richard Stanley, Strategic Projects Director, comes in. He manages Henkel AI’s alternative disposal of waste streams for North America by ﬁnding unconventional ways to deal with them. “Now, we’re looking at every waste stream,” he explains. “Can we put it to a second use rather than sending it to the landﬁll or incinerating it? We’re looking for disposal routes that generate a modest revenue and help us avoid creating a dirty footprint.” For example, water-based white glue that is expired or out-of-spec becomes an ingredient for soil stabilization products used as a pre-treatment for road paving. Polymer-based hot melt purge is used as an additive by tire and shoe sole manufacturers. Natural carbon-based polymer byproducts are used in the production of charcoal briquettes. In 2010, Henkel found alternative means for disposing of over 500 metric tons (550 U.S. tons) of waste stream byproducts and stranded inventory. Combined, that’s the equivalent of 25 tractor trailer truckloads which otherwise would have gone into landﬁlls or incinerators in the U.S. and Canada, Richard points out. Part of Richard’s role is to ensure that the after-Henkel life of those waste streams is fully documented and traceable, in accordance with ISO-1400 waste minimization standards provided by the International Organization for Standardization. “Managing these waste streams more responsibly is one of the ways we’re living up to our environmental policy,” Richard says. “We do our best to help our company avoid wasting these products. We have created channels so they have a second life. And, we’re reducing our carbon footprint.” Waste StreamAlternative Use White GlueSoil Stabilization Products Hot Melt PurgeTire and Shoe Soles Carbon-Based Polymer ByproductsCharcoal Briquettes
