Clean Earth Earns Top Project of the Year Award from Environment + Energy Leader for Hand Sanitizer Recycling Effort
July 19 2022 - 7:00AM
Clean Earth, a division of Harsco Corporation and a leading
provider in environmental and regulated waste management services,
has received a Top Project of the Year Award in the Environment +
Energy Leader Awards Program for its entry entitled, Supplying
Safe, Sustainable Solutions for the Disposal of Hand Sanitizer Amid
Pandemic.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting
supply chain disruptions, some companies had large quantities of
excess, off-spec, expired or recalled hand sanitizer in their
possession. Companies with non-viable hand sanitizer responding to
FDA directives turned to Clean Earth for support in recovering the
ethanol from the hand sanitizer and effectively recycling the
packaging. Clean Earth’s Advanced Waste Lifecycle Program,
Fullcircle™ developed customized solutions for each customer,
leveraging the Company’s nationwide partnerships to ensure the safe
processing of non-viable hand sanitizer. This project helped
customers avoid significant risk and liability and reduced
environmental impact.
“Clean Earth has devised a timely and innovative
solution for non-viable hand sanitizer products,” said one judge.
“A fuel blending process enables alcohol to be recovered from the
hand sanitizer, transforming the waste into a gas fuel additive
product.”
The Environment + Energy Leader Awards recognize
excellence in products and services that provide companies with
energy and environmental benefits, and in projects implemented by
companies that improved environmental or energy management and the
bottom line.
