Listings describe the material, quantity and form available, and indicate geographic location.
Names, addresses and phone numbers of the suppliers of the materials are not provided in the listing. Material exchanges can result in cost savings to both donor and receiver. The donor avoids the costs of disposal, and the receiver obtains raw material at substantially lower price per pound or gallon. The material exchange provides a service that promotes the use of one company's unwanted material as another's raw material. It is an information clearinghouse for available byproducts, virgin products and other forms of unwanted industrial materials.
