First large-scale recycling program for non-hazardous lab and cleanroom waste, to industrial environments ideal for light-duty applications and non-hazardous waste
Kimberly-Clark Professional has expanded its innovative recycling program – RightCycle by Kimberly-Clark Professional – to manufacturing and other industrial environments, enabling these customers to divert non-hazardous waste, such as nitrile gloves and apparel, from landfills.
RightCycle is the first large-scale recycling program for non-hazardous lab, cleanroom and industrial waste. Since its launch in 2011, the program has diverted more than 300 tons of waste from landfills. The items are sent to recyclers in the United States and turned into nitrile powder and pellets that are used to create eco-responsible consumer products and durable goods, such asflowerpots and lawn furniture, benches and bicycle racks.
