Aqua-Solution Is Environmentally Safe
Disposing of the Aqua-Solution product itself is environmentally safe. However, the liquid that Aqua-Solution absorbs is the determining factor in disposal. If the liquid that is absorbed is hazardous, then the Aqua-Solution gellation of the liquid is also hazardous in nature. Aqua-Solution simply turns the liquid into a gel state, so it changes the physical make up and not the chemical make up. Depending on the absorbed product, Aqua Solution maybe suitable for landfill purposes. If a hazardous waste is absorbed it must be disposed of in an appropriate hazardous waste landfill. Review of Federal, State and Local waste disposal regulations is essential to determine the appropriate disposal alternative.
