Products

• Create A Zero Discharge Environment.

  Maratek Environmental provides a revolutionary new technology that deals with the problem of printing plant waste streams. Proprietary technologies will not only permit the printer to recover costly raw materials and reduce the need for waste haulage, but also reduce or eliminate environmentally harmful emissions.

  Benefits for entire plant wastewater treatments systems are: to substantially reduce environmentally damaging waste streams; provide a quick return on investment; provide a continuing cost savings on raw materials; reduce waste disposal fees by up to 90%; eliminate the need for drains, thus providing total waste stream compliance at source; deal with the pre-press film and plate effluents, press sinks and pre-press sinks; remove chemicals and toxins providing clean liquids for re-use or to drain; reduce consumption of energy.

• Environmental Products And Services
• Plastic Film Recycling And Disposal
• Recycle And Reuse 90% Of Solvents And Wipers.

  Maratek Environmental provides a revolutionary new technology that deals with the problem of used solvents and dirty wipers, rags etc. used for press clean up. Proprietary technology will not only permit the printer to recover the (dirty) solvent, but also clean the solvent, which can subsequently be reused in the pressroom.

  Benefits for solvent recovery and recycling system: substantially reduce and environmentally damaging waste stream; reduce solvent purchases by up to 90%; recover the solvent from the wipers and remove contaminants, producing a clean solvent for reuse; reduce laundry and transportation costs as well as possible laundry environmental surcharges; show a very quick return on investment, often within 6 months or less; not require and explosion proof room; reduce consumption of energy.

• Recycle And Reuse 95% Of Waste Fountain Solutions.

  Maratek Environmental provides a revolutionary new technology that deals with the problem of waste fountain solution. The Waste Fountain Solution Recycling or Discharge System is the most cost-effective method of dealing with this hazardous and undesirable waste stream.

  Benefits for waste fountain solution recycling or discharge system will be: recycle either alcohol-free or alcohol based fountain solution; reduce the volume of the waste fountain solution by up to 95%; significantly reduce your license waste hauling charges for waste fountain solution; yield a clean reusable fountain solution; reduce virgin fountain solution consumption; show a very quick return on investment; provide source compliance with optional drain discharge technology; and significantly reduce any negative impact on the environment.
