Solvent Recycling & Recovery Blog

  Laboratories that work with solvents every day often face the same challenge: how to manage used solvent safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively without slowing down daily operations. In pathology, histology, chemistry, research, and diagnostic lab environments, solvents such as xylene, alcohol, acetone, and xylene substitutes are essential to routine processes. However, these solvents also create ongoing purchasing, handling, storage, and waste disposal concerns. A laboratory solvent recycler helps solve this problem by recovering usable solvent from spent solvent mixtures, allowing labs to reuse recovered material instead of relying only on new solvent purchases. PathTrue™ Solvent Recyclers from CBG Biotech are designed for laboratory environments that need a practical and automated way to recycle common lab solvents while improving workflow and supporting sustainability goals.  PathTrue™ systems are built for laboratories that want to reduce solvent waste, improve ...

Rising Solvent Costs Are Forcing Manufacturers to Rethink Waste Management Industrial manufacturers rely on solvents every day for cleaning, coating, degreasing, printing, chemical processing, and equipment maintenance. While solvents are essential to production, the cost of purchasing, handling, storing, and disposing of them continues to rise. Many facilities still treat used solvents as waste rather than a reusable resource. This approach creates unnecessary expenses tied to hazardous waste disposal, replacement solvent purchases, transportation, regulatory compliance, and operational inefficiencies. As environmental regulations become stricter and manufacturing margins tighten, companies are looking for practical ways to reduce waste while maintaining production quality. One solution gaining significant attention across industrial sectors is the use of solvent recycling systems. Modern solvent recovery systems allow facilities to recover and reuse solvents on-site, helping ma...
