Manage Your Hazardous Chemicals

Cleaning the press with press wash offers many opportunities. Safer, less hazardous, low- or no-VOC cleaners have been on the market for a number of years. Working practices may have to be altered, but the environmental and workplace safety benefits are there.

Perhaps the easiest way to reduce pollution at the press is to observe how clean-ups are done. Do you use the best working methods to clean? Are cans of solvents left open to evaporate during the process? Better working methods and common sense can reduce the amount of solvent used.
