Alcohol
Appropriate management of alcohol-containing waste streams can be challenging for manufacturers of consumer products, pharmaceuticals, industrial alcohols and beverages. Standard disposal options such as fuels blending and hazardous waste incineration are expensive and do not support reuse, recycle or waste minimization guidelines set forth by the EPA.
The Danox solution:
Danox has the ability to recover and reuse the ethyl alcohol from waste streams. Provisions in the RCRA Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR 261.6) exempt these materials from their hazardous waste characterization allowing them to be shipped offsite on a bill of lading, instead of a hazardous waste manifest.
Danox facilities support the integration of recovered ethanol as a clean air additive into gasoline blends. As a result, materials that would otherwise be unusable wastes are now contributing to the production of millions of gallons of gasoline.
Benefits:
- Environmental impact is reduced by utilizing recycling outlets for alcohol containing waste streams
- Shipping the material on a bill of lading provides the company a waste minimization benefit with their environmental program.
Our goal at Danox is to recover and reuse the maximum amount of resources from the products and wastes we receive. Through our ethanol recovery operations, we have set the bar for safe and compliant alcohol recycling in the industry.
We manage our inbound streams to meet the strict requirements of:
- Tax & Trade Bureau
- Department of Homeland Security
- Customs
- Distilled Spirits Plants (DSP)
- Bonded Wine Cellar (BWC)
- Department of Transportation
- Environmental Protection Agency
Danox will guide you through the steps to make a seamless transition from standard waste disposal to product recovery. This conversion results in waste reduction for your company which will ultimately increase value for your bottom line.

Shampoo, Body Wash & Conditioner
Manufacturers of consumer products – shampoo, body wash and conditioner – are often faced with high disposal fees and basic, non-sustainable options for destruction of their process waste. Danox utilizes off-spec, distressed, out-of-date shampoo, body wash and conditioner waste as base ingredients to manufacture a variety of industrial products.
Our process delivers a recycling and reuse opportunity unique to the marketplace. Various products or production wastes are brought into our facility, assessed for quality, processed and then used as components in outbound product blends. Shampoos and body washes are de-packaged and blended into a base product, while conditioners are de-packaged, blended and ultimately used in a base fabric softener blend.
We offer clients recycling and reuse of all the material shipped to us. Our focus on protecting the brand provides your company with 100% brand protection.
Finished goods are processed with a specific method so that packaging is cut, chipped, and bailed. No customer label or reference can be seen after processing.
