<p class="MsoNormal">Please see the following announcement of our recently-published memo addressing unused hand sanitizer reclamation with respect to the industrial ethyl alcohol exemption.

November 17, 2022, memorandum</a>, EPA discussed the exemption for reclaimed industrial ethyl alcohol, stating that the industrial ethyl alcohol must be
<i>spent</i> in order to qualify for the recycling exemption. After our discussions with Dynamic Recycling and interested states, EPA has reconsidered our position in the November 17, 2022, memorandum and we have concluded that
<i>unused</i> industrial ethyl alcohol, including unused alcohol-based hand sanitizer, also qualifies for this exemption.<o:p></o:p></p>
