US Ecology Unveils State-of-the-Art Aerosol Recycling Technology
09 September 2020 - 10:09PM
US Ecology, Inc., (the “Company”) [NASDAQ: ECOL] the environmental
services leader with over 65 years of experience solving complex
waste challenges for customers across North America, is proud to be
the first and only company in the U.S. now offering Aerosol
Recycling Technology (ART), a 100% sustainable solution for aerosol
waste that produces recyclable metal, reusable alternative and
liquid fuels and is landfill free with zero emissions.
The ART System, developed in an exclusive partnership with
Despray Environmental and utilizing state of the art, patent
pending technologies has provided US Ecology with the most
sustainable aerosol recycling solution available in the U.S. today.
The ART system is unique in that it completely captures and
compresses the gas propellant into purified recyclable liquid fuel,
similar to Liquid Petroleum gas, for resell opportunities in
support of a more circular economy. Additional recyclable or
reusable byproducts of cans that run through the system include
recyclable metal bricks and product compressed into reusable
alternative fuel. The Company’s fully enclosed process is also
equipped with complete carbon capture and oxygen monitoring sensors
to protect the environment and the health and safety of the valued
team members operating the system.
“Despray is excited to have formed an exclusive technical
partnership with US Ecology and to be a part of such a leading-edge
recycling campaign in the U.S.,” said Eelco Osse, Despray CEO.
“While earlier technologies in the market recycle portions of the
aerosol can or its components, only ART is proven to effectively
capture and recycle or reuse 100% of the can, whether empty or
filled.”
“ART is an example of US Ecology’s ongoing commitment to
identifying innovative, sustainable solutions for our customers in
order to help them achieve their waste reduction goals and protect
the environment,” said Simon Bell, Executive Vice President and
Chief Operating Officer at US Ecology. “The launch of the ART
system is an exciting culmination of many team members’ hard work
and dedication over the last few years, as well as mutually
beneficial partnerships with equally environmentally-conscious
companies. This unique technology further sets US Ecology apart as
a leader striving for a more sustainable future, offering
innovative solutions to serve our customers and protect human
health and the environments.”
US Ecology’s first ART unit celebrated its inaugural run earlier
this summer and has since been operating 24/7 out of its Beatty, NV
facility with opportunities to expand across US Ecology treatment
and service facilities. All recycling systems are capable of
accepting mixed batches of aerosol cans, with or without actuator
stems or plastic caps included. Watch the ART animation video to

Technology.
