    *Since 1994 Unison International has operated an active "surplus chemical exchange" for a diverse range of corporations, institutions and government agencies throughout the US and Canada. This unique exchange is composed of over 40 chemical industry professionals who in aggregate have expertise in almost every chemical produced in the world. We are the surplus chemical experts. Our focus is to save you on chemical disposal costs and our service is always free of charge.

    All chemicals are shipped directly from you to a qualified end user and all chemicals ship out as a useable product, not a waste. All end users agree to take full responsibility upon pick up. End users are located in the US, Canada and overseas.

    The exchange process is simple - just email us a description of any unused chemicals you have. We will let you know within hours to two business days if there is interest or not. If any items are acceptable a pick up day is set. Most items ship out on a standard bill of lading.

    End users arrange and pay for shipping (depending on the chemical, quantity and location sometimes it's not economical for the end user to pay shipping. In these cases we ask if you would pay the shipping. Often this arrangement is far less expensive than disposal).

    Over the years we have saved millions of dollars in chemical disposal costs for organizations of all kinds, both large and small, throughout North America. We can do the same for you. If you have any unused chemicals, now or in the future,  just email us a description.
