Abstract:
While North Carolina has seen its fair share of issues in dealing with the management of hazardous wastes, a Greensboro, North Carolina based company is compiling a list of firsts in commercial management of such materials. Ecoflo has become the first company in the US to open a permitted commercial hazardous waste treatment facility under the federal Resource Conservation Act; the first to train personnel to help clients handle wastes; and the first to turn liquid mercury into a disposable solid.
