What does it really mean? To some people it can be translated as One man's garbage is another man's treasure!!!. Industrial Byproduct, Waste Recycling, Beneficial Reuse, these are the same thing. At Environmental Leverage we bring you innovative strategies and operational experiences to help you Leverage your liabilities and turn them into assets! Innovative environmental solutions Resulting in a cleaner environment! There are numerous government grants, programs, loans and awards for Pollution Prevention Challange Grants Governor's Awards for Environmental Excellence EPA Common Sense Initiatives EPA Resource Conservation Challenge P2 Pays There are tons depending upon the country, region or state that you live in. Types or sources of Beneficial Reuse Examples of Materials in high demand
Water or Wastewater Water conservation and efficiency- using treated effluent water- reused as
Gray water- in closed recycle loops, or used in areas where critically clean
water is not necessary is technically a type of Beneficial reuse. Water
can be used for irrigation, washing down non-critical areas, Effluent irrigation
of golf courses, parks, and recreation areas.
Potential Wastewater Reuse Applications, Commercial Car Washes, Foundries: Spent Sand can be utilized in an approved beneficial use application, Green Sand, slag, Bag house dust and wet scrubber residuals, Here are just a few of the applications where it can be utilized: Landfill Daily Cover, Pipe Bedding, Structural Fill, Goes to Processor for Single or multiple Applications, Asphalt, Cement, Concrete, Soil Blending
Papermill- There are numerous areas where beneficial reuse can be found in a papermill. Lime, pulp, ash, sludge, crates, paper scraps, bark, knots are just a few areas that homes can be found for these " alternative" products. Bottom ash is a good road base and construction material. Papermill biosolids and primary solids are great for use at Mine leachate.
Food plants have pallets, Process scraps that can be sold to agriculture for
compost, silage for animal feed lots, among other things. Bones, tallow, and
meat scraps found in slaughter houses are also areas for beneficial reuse. We worked at one plant that produced high quality frosting. 16% of their product line was "Poor Quality" frosting and was off spec. Well, just because it cannot be used for cake decorations, it could be used for doughnut filling, or other uses.
Wastewater Biosolids Use of biosolids on crops can reduce the cost of nutrient supplementation from $60-$140 per acre and provide most of the N and P needed. The biosolids are a great source of natural nutrients, minerals and can benefit your crop yield by up to 25%. Coming Soon- Biosolids reuse and Crop Benefits
Fly ash and bottom ash- landfill caps, road construction, cement, planters, statues for fill, stabilization of hazardous wastes, Decorative black glass was produced using fly ash as the main component, Non-Hazardous Coal Power Plant Fly Ash as Flowable Fill Water Chemical Plant- Acid or base Streams, Metals, Air pollution control technology residuals, Streams high in Nitrogen or Phosphorus Ferric chloride, High BTU content materials Chlorine, Spent Catalysts, Wineries
Lees, mach, biosolids, water reuse for irrigation or wash water
Cement Kiln Dust and Fly Ash can be used in Road Rehabilitation Wood Ash on Agricultural Land Tire Shreds as Lightweight Fill Aluminum, Copper and Brass Fabrication, Cement and Concrete, Coal combustion,
Iron and Steel, Mini- mill byproducts, As you can see, there are tons of sources of side streams that can be considered for beneficial reuse. The trick is finding a home for your byproduct. Examples of Legislation or Links Legislation enacted in 1985 [s. 289.05 (4), Wis. Stats.] encourages the beneficial use of industrial byproducts through the DNR.
The Pollution Prevention Resource Exchange (P2Rx) is a consortium of eight regional pollution prevention information centers, funded in part through grants from EPA.

Beneficial Reuse-
The new buzzword
development of a Beneficial Reuse or Recycling program at your plant. 
Examples
by Industry
Refinery-
Again, an area that has many sidestreams that are isolated initially
in the process area due to the type of equipment used and the process location.
Spent caustic is the first easy one. Oil, Spent Catalysts, oily sludge, and
biosolids are just a few more to be mentioned.
Food
Plants- Did you know that the biosolids generated from a food plant
that has it's own wastewater treatment plant are an excellent source of
nutrients for crops?
