This Good Practice Guide describes a systematic approach for the management of organic solvents applicable to all companies that use solvents (apart from dry-cleaners). Managing solvents wisely can help companies reduce their operating costs, comply with environmental legislation, reduce the need for pollution abatement equipment and enhance their public image. The Guide describes how to collect and analyse data on solvent use and emissions, prepare a mass balance and implement a solvent management programme. A computer spreadsheet to help companies track and analyse solvent use is available for download below.
Note: GG429 updates and replaces GG013 and GG114.
