HOW DOES NUTRACHEM WORK?
NUTRACHEMŽ is a patented polymer that encapsulates photo-chemical waste by absorbing the waste into a sponge-like polymer crystal that neutralizes and bonds silver ions to itself, and becomes a non-toxic, non-hazardous solid suitable for municipal landfill or incineration for silver recovery (smelting). Once the 5 gallon container is full, you can dispose of the altered waste by depositing it in your trash.


NUTRACHEMŽ Benefits: 

  • Developer and fixer waste are disposed of together. Once the waste is solidified you can place the containers with your regular municipal trash; no special services are required.
  • Liquid photo-waste can be added to the NUTRACHEMŽ container over weeks or months. 
  • You do not have to manifest with the EPA. Just keep a personal log. (We can provide one.) 
  • Hazardous photo-waste becomes non-hazardous instantly. Developer and fixer fluids can be mixed together without odor.
  • NUTRACHEMŽ is economical and competitively priced to waste hauling services when small quantities are generated.
  • When you use NUTRACHEMŽ, it turns liquid into a solid. You are no longer regulated by the water/sewage department but by solid waste management. The criteria are different. Since you will not be discarding any waste chemicals into the drain or evaporating effluents into the air, you will meet all current Federal and local guidelines for sewage and air disposal and be in compliance. NUTRACHEMŽ renders your photo waste non-hazardous.
