After arriving at the overall market size—using the market size estimation process explained above—the market was split into several segments and sub-segments. To complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics of each market segment and sub-segment, the data triangulation, and market breakdown procedures were employed, wherever applicable. The data was triangulated by studying various factors and trends from both the demand and supply of solvent recovery and recycling and their applications.
Solvent recovery and recycling involve the process of extracting and reusing useful materials from waste or by-product solvents generated during manufacturing. This process is a form of waste reduction and is widely used to reduce waste generation and minimize the need to produce new solvents. Solvent recovery typically uses a multi-stage distillation process to separate solvents into their components at lower-than-boiling point temperatures, resulting in recovered solvents that are virtually indistinguishable from virgin solvent products. The recovered solvents can then be repurposed, reducing the need to produce new solvents and eliminating a large amount of waste, while also removing potentially hazardous substances from the environment. The solvent recycling process can be performed using a variety of technologies, including distillation, and the requalified recovered solvents can be used for manufacturing different products or solutions, making the process both cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
