[QUOTE="tuyere, post: 359828, member: 26916"] It isn't a greenwashing thing for the same reason aluminium recycling isn't- it's legitimately cheaper and less energy-intensive to just redistill used IPA than to synthesize more from scratch. Our supplier makes a very pretty penny charging us to haul away the used solvent, processing it, and then reselling it to us for very nearly the same price they sell new solvent from the manufacturer. On the other hand, there's a company that's claiming to recycle printed material around here, and that's obviously not real, recycling of cured acrylate resin isn't a 'thing', it has no post-consumer applications.
