MAKO Renew

At MAKO Advanced Materials, we are committed to sustainable and responsible material management. That’s why we’re introducing MAKO Renew, an innovative service program designed to rework and/or neutralize unusable or expired epoxies, urethanes, and liquid materials used in adhesives and composites.

The manufacturing industry generates significant amounts of waste, and improper disposal of chemical-based materials can have lasting environmental impacts. With MAKO Renew, we provide a safe, cost-effective solution to manage these materials.

Customer Submission – Participants send their unusable, expired or unused epoxies, urethanes, or other liquid thermoset materials to MAKO, ensuring all shipments are accompanied by the proper Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for accurate handling.

Safe & Responsible Disposal – If the materials cannot be repurposed, MAKO ensures their proper disposal in compliance with environmental regulations, preventing hazardous waste from entering landfills or water sources.

Material Evaluation & Processing – Upon arrival, our team carefully inspects and assesses the materials to determine the most effective method for rework, upcycling, or disposal.

Reformulation & Reuse – When feasible, we refine and reprocess materials into new adhesive and composite solutions, giving them a second life and reducing the demand for virgin raw materials.

Elimination of ‘exporter of record’. Title to products that might normally be required to be exported as hazardous waste is transferred to Mako for management.

Environmental Protection – Hazardous materials that are improperly disposed of can contaminate soil and water, harming ecosystems and communities.

Sustainability Leadership – Companies that participate in MAKO Renew demonstrate a commitment to sustainable practices, improving their environmental footprint and industry reputation.

Regulatory Compliance – Disposing of chemical-based materials incorrectly can result in liability, fines and legal issues. MAKO Renew ensures compliance with all disposal regulations.

Efficiency – Keeping expired or unusable materials in your facility can lead to clutter, disorganization, and wasted storage space. By utilizing MAKO Renew, companies can streamline their operations, maintain a cleaner work environment, and focus on active production rather than material disposal.
