Our Mission

To provide an environmentally safe way to destroy asbestos with a non-

thermal, EPA approved, chemical-physical process that eradicates asbestos

from the environment.

To protect the public from devastating effects of asbestos illnesses; and

provide the most cost effective and efficient asbestos destruction process

commercially available in the marketplace.

To eliminate landfill Cradle to Grave liability by terminating asbestos landfill

storage, minimizing waste and provide end product recycling.

To add value to an organization’s bottom line by insuring you and your

stakeholders: good sustainability, environmental and financial risk

management.

More than 3,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with

Mesothelioma each year.

More than 125 million people worldwide encounter asbestos in the

workplace.

Every five minutes someone in the world dies from asbestos-related

illnesses, 100,000 people a year and 5 to 10 million people by 2030.

Every year there are more people killed by asbestos than in road

accidents.

For the past 27 years, asbestos has been removed and not eliminated,

but simply bagged, tagged and stored in landfills.

Asbestos Lethal Statistics

Continuing Liability $

Overview

Asbestos and asbestos containing material (“ACM”) are typically sent to regulated landfills creating significant liability and leading to unlimited costs for the Potential Responsible Party.

Employing the ABCOV® Method eliminates current and future liability since there is no asbestos waste transportation; no asbestos waste dumping; therefore, no asbestos liability.

Consequences of Bagging and Tagging

Plastic bags are dumped from the height of a trailer or container into the

landfill

Heavy Construction Equipment Applies 6-12 Inches Cover, Probable

Results:

o Bags Break

o Asbestos Fibers Become Airborne

o Migrate Into the Water Table
