Material exchanges are industry's version of garage sales. Materials exchanges provide information clearinghouses for recycled products. One-stop shopping catalogs and databases list a host of industrial materials -- virgin and raw products; surplus, overstock, obsolete and off-specification goods; byproducts; and used, expired and damaged materials. Materials exchanges are cost-effective tools for managing commercial industrial wastes for which no source reduction methods exist. North American exchanges annually divert millions of tons of waste from landfills and incinerators, saving US and Canadian businesses more than $27 million in disposal fees.
