VaporLok™ Products LLC is a company dedicated to providing environmentally safe packaging solutions for mercury containing materials. Our packaging solutions enable the safe transport of mercury containing goods through patented recycling solutions that include our Mercury VaporLok® bag technology. This technology protects both the consumer and generator of mercury containing products and transport personnel from accidental exposure to mercury vapors.

The product was initially developed in response to promulgation of the Universal Waste Regulations by the USEPA in 1995 and the subsequent inclusion of mercury filled thermometers (1995), fluorescent lamps (1999) and mercury devices (2005), in those rules. All of these products contain mercury. The intent of the new regulations was to facilitate environmentally-sound collection of these wastes with minimal paperwork, so as to encourage recycling.

The technology was initially used by our affiliate, Mercury Waste Solutions in their LampTracker, DentalTracker and DeviceTracker product lines, which were sold to Waste Management in 2007. Waste Management continues to use this technology in their WM LampTracker commercial and consumer fluorescent lamp recycling programs.

Mercury Waste Solutions also uses the product in their Mercury VaporLok® Large Device Packaging and Recycling Service.
