GlyEco,
a provider of sustainable glycol technologies, has received independent
third-party lab verification that confirms the efficacy of the company’s patent
pending technology to recycle waste glycol, a hazardous material, to
refinery-grade glycol standards. GlyEco says it is the first company to produce
commercial quantities of recycled glycol that meet ASTM E1177 Type EG-1
specifications.
“This
is an industry game changer and a big step forward in the recycling industry,”
John d. Lorenz, chairman and CEO of GlyEco, stated in the news release. “We
believe glycols can be used as a more sustainable resource, with great benefits
for businesses, our communities, and the environment.”
ASTM
International, formerly known as the American Society for Testing and Materials
(ASTM), is a global leader in the development and delivery of international
voluntary consensus standards. Thousands of ASTM’s standards are used worldwide
to improve product quality, enhance safety, facilitate market access and trade,
and build consumer confidence. The ASTM E1177 Type EG-1 standard is the
predominant quality measurement used to test the quality of glycols used in
commercial products.
Glycols
are commonly used for industrial applications, including automotive antifreeze,
polyester production, aircraft deicing fluids, HVAC fluids, and medical
sterilization processes. Research shows that in the U.S. alone, approximately
700 million gallons of waste glycol are produced each year, while 1.1 billion
gallons of new glycols are used.
GlyEco
is branding its Type EG-1 compliant product as GlyEco Certified T1 Recycled
Glycol.
“We
are very excited to have proof of what we have known for some time. GlyEco
technology works; we can clean any waste glycol into a product that is
indistinguishable from virgin-grade glycol,” Lorenz stated. “The company is now
producing and selling GlyEco Certified T1 product in commercial quantities, and
the feedback from our customers is very positive.”
