Isopropanol (IPA) Disposal
IPA and isopropyl alcohol waste removed from electronics, print, healthcare and laboratory sites with flammable liquid controls.
How our isopropanol (ipa) disposal service works
Isopropanol is commonly used for wipe-down, cleaning and electronics work. Spent IPA is flammable and should not be tipped away or left to evaporate.
We collect IPA in sealed bottles, safety cans, drums, IBCs and absorbent-contaminated packs. Our team confirms compatibility, packaging and transport requirements before the job is booked.
We take the collected IPA to a suitable licensed disposal site. The destination may recover the solvent or use another suitable disposal process.
We collect the waste as a licensed waste carrier, using ADR drivers where required, and take it to a licensed disposal site operating under the appropriate permit or exemption.
