IMEX
IMEX is one of the premiere material exchanges of the Pacific Northwest. IMEX is a free listing service designed to help your business find markets for your industrial by-products, surplus materials and wastes. Businesses, offices, schools, and individuals "advertise" their surplus/unwanted materials, or materials that they are seeking, by submitting an electronic IMEX listing form. The listings are then posted on the IMEX web site, where they are viewed by interested waste generators and waste recyclers.
You can search for a wide variety of both wanted and available materials on the IMEX web. Be sure to check out the “Miscellaneous” category for the more obscure items. If you are looking for someone to take your excess glass slag, or if you are seeking off spec acetone, often times you may find what you are looking for, through IMEX.
The goal of IMEX is to conserve energy, resources and landfill space by helping businesses and organizations find alternatives to the disposal of valuable materials or wastes.
"Wastes are resources waiting to be discovered." -- Margo Siekerka, Industrial Recycling Consultant, Illinois
