Tote Return Program
The Kodak Polychrome Graphics Tote Return Program offers a simple and convenient
way to reuse chemical totes used in graphic arts processes. Customer participation in this
program is vital to the program's success. Totes must be returned in order for Kodak
Polychrome Graphics to continue to offer chemicals in bulk size. By participating in this
program you will also help minimize solid waste.
The following guidelines are designed to assist you in preparing to return empty Kodak
Polychrome Graphics totes in compliance with the shipping requirements set forth by the
United States Department of Transportation (D.O.T.). Because states and localities may
have different requirements, check your local regulations.

may return the following Kodak Polychrome Graphics empty plastic totes:
220 gallons (445 lbs.) (limited availability)

1,000 liters (139 lbs.)
鈥?
The totes must be empty, with the outside free of chemicals. You do not have to rinse the
totes with water鈥攋ust be sure they鈥檙e empty. If the totes are not empty, you will be billed
for any charges associated with disposing of the totes.
According to EPA 40 CFR 261.7, "A container...is empty if:

commonly employed to remove materials for that type of container, e.g., pouring,
pumping, and aspirating, and

container...or
(iii) (B) No more than 0.3 percent by weight of the total capacity of the container

sure that the original product labels are in place and not defaced in any manner. Never
remove labels or paint over them.
