For many agricultural chemical distributors, retailers, and manufacturers, the season may be over, but the inventory challenge is just beginning.

Surplus crop protection products, specialty chemicals, and agricultural inputs can tie up working capital, consume storage capacity, and create compliance concerns long after demand has faded. Increasingly, companies are turning to secondary markets as a strategic tool to recover value rather than absorb losses.

Learn how organizations are approaching end-of-season inventory management and why secondary market strategies are becoming an important part of the agricultural supply chain: https://altiras.com/what-happens-after-the-season-ends-the-growing-challenge-of-agricultural-chemical-inventory-management/

Glycol streams are often replaced as performance declines, but that doesn’t mean they’ve lost all value. In many systems, PG and EG degrade gradually, leading to early removal and unnecessary loss.

Instead of defaulting to replacement:
• Recover and reuse in stable, controlled systems
• Redirect streams into recovery or secondary use
If you’re routinely replacing glycol, you may be discarding usable material.

Large refrigeration systems often contain tens of thousands of gallons of glycol. During chiller replacements or retrofits, that fluid is usually drained and treated as waste. However, with proper planning, industrial glycol recovery can turn large drain-outs into a recoverable asset rather than a disposal cost.

If your facility is planning a system replacement or major retrofit, it may be worth evaluating the glycol before scheduling disposal. Read more: https://altiras.com/industrial-glycol-recovery-recovering-value-from-large-scale-glycol-drain-outs/
