Organization of Recipient: Metals Recycling Technologies Corp.
Description: Incorporating hazardous waste into animal feeds is generally not considered use in a manner constituting disposal. If zinc oxide produced from the recycling of K061 is completely reclaimed, it is a product and is no longer subject to RCRA provided it is not burned for energy recovery or used in a manner constituting disposal. In cases where the zinc oxide will be further refined to make zinc metal, it is a partially reclaimed listed sludge and is still a hazardous waste subject to regulation.
