| Abstract | In the States of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and California, 158 plywood plants generate an estimated 6.2 million gallons of waste per day from the cleanup of glue mixing equipment and glue spreaders. The waste is toxic and high in pollutional strength. Treatment of these glue wastes varies from plant to plant but generally consists only of solids separation or the removal of suspended matter. The report presents continuing research on the treatment and disposal of the waste. |
