A material exchange identifies both producers and markets for solid and hazardous materials. Materials are classified by the components that best describe them. Classifications are provided in Listing Form and in the PDF version of this document. A material exchange matches companies having unwanted, usable materials with companies that have need for the materials. This is done by publishing lists of both available and wanted materials in accordance with the classifications on the Listing Form .
Listings describe the material, quantity and form available, and indicate geographic location.
Names of the suppliers of the materials are not provided in the listing. The OMEx reference document and bimonthly addendums have coded entries and a brief description of the materials. Using the coded entry, users call the fax on demand system to obtain contact information. OMEx is free of charge. YES, if you have surplus, obsolete, off-specification and other unwanted materials, or your manufacturing processes are not dependent upon the use of virgin materials.
