From the article:
A hazardous reclamation and treatment facility in West Carrollton, Ohio has been reopened by Veolia ES Technical Solutions, the hazardous waste division of Veolia Environmental Services North America.
According to the company - a subsidiary of Veolia Environnement (NYSE: VE and Paris Euronext: VIE) - the facility now incorporates cutting edge technology to reclaim and repurpose hazardous materials, greater than 70% of which comes from businesses in the Ohio Valley.
The West Carrollton facility repurposes and reclaims eight million gallons (30 million litres) a year of oils, paints, solvents and other hazardous materials and recycles them back into material that can be reused. Solvents are reclaimed to 99.5% purity.
Veolia said that following a fire in 2009 fire it has invested considerable effort and capital into designing a new state-of-the-art reclamation facility from a safety and technological standpoint.
