NewStream accepts used antifreeze, collected in small bulk from auto dealerships, service centers and fleet vehicles. Used ethylene glycol – the primary component of antifreeze used in the automotive industry – is recovered to produce recycled antifreeze for wholesale and retail distribution.

The used material is recovered with reverse osmosis (fine membrane filtration). Because of the sensitivity of this process, the used material should not be contaminated with oils or other fluids upon arriving at NewStream. The recovered product is then refreshed with virgin ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors, and dye packages to meet customer specifications. The recycled antifreeze can be shipped from NewStream in bulk or drums at very competitive prices. (Inquiries about special formulations, i.e. for use in heavy equipment, are welcomed.)

NewStream’s goal is to generate recycled material that is as high quality as virgin material. The recycled material can be sold back to the generator and/or to third parties for re-use in applications such as:

· Major auto and truck manufacturing
· Aftermarket automotive service
· Consumer use (retail)
· Fed, state, local government use
· Military applications

There is an increasing demand for recycled glycol in the world market due to a declining supply of virgin material. In fact, as of 2004, 100% of the recycled material supplied to the market was consumed. Currently, only about 12% of the antifreeze used in the country is recycled, but this figure is growing consistently.
