8" ECO Funnel® system with Justrite® 5 gallon poly safety can

This 8" ECO Funnel® is designed to fit the large 3-5/8" opening on Justrite® Poly Waste Disposal Cans. This system includes a 5 gallon natural poly waste disposal can (without disconnects) although it fits all 2 and 5 gallon, white or red polyethylene waste cans with the 3-5/8" opening. It does not fit metal safety cans.

Our patented ECO Funnel features a latching lid with gasket and inner tube to keep fumes contained. A removable large particle filter catches stir bars or other items. Connecting the ECO Funnel onto a Justrite® safety can provides a easy-access point for quick pouring. Once the ECO Funnel® lid is closed, it will minimize evaporation of hazardous liquids. Justrite® poly disposal containers are FM approved and equipped with a flame arrestor that is not inhibited by having the ECO Funnel® attached. Fixed position latch on handle allows lid to stay open for easier pouring. Translucent color lets you check liquid level at a glance.

Minimize emissions from JUSTRITE® open waste containers by equipping them with a Safety ECO Funnel®. Durable HDPE funnel on top of a JUSTRITE® container provides a wider, strategically placed opening at the funnel top, which facilitates controlled pouring without the risk of a spill. Once the ECO Funnel® lid is closed it will reduce evaporation of hazardous waste. JUSTRITE® containers are FM approved and equipped with a flame arrestor that is not inhibited by having the ECO Funnel® attached. FM Approved.

The ECO Funnel is the ultimate lab safety product for collection of hazardous liquid waste. Its unique, patented design performs two functions, acting as both a sealed waste container and also as a solvent funnel. The 8" ECO Funnel® is made of HDPE and has a 2 liter fluid capacity. This solvent waste funnel is designed with a custom screw cap which secures it to a specified waste container. It also features a closed-cell HDPE gasket inside the lid and a sturdy positive latch which ensures the lid remains securely closed. A removable filter is also built into the interior to reduce the loss of stir bars or other large particles in the waste liquid. The ECO Funnel is a pass-through system, meaning chemicals are not sitting in the funnel for any length of time, so its HDPE construction is compatible with most solvents including those that need to be stored in glass.

ECO Funnel FAQ

Does the ECO Funnel® comply with regulations for emissions from open waste containers?
Yes. The primary function of the ECO Funnel is to reduce the emission of volatile solvents to near zero, while providing a convenient way to handle temporary waste in the lab.

Are there any chemicals that should be avoided when using the ECO Funnel®?
Yes, you should avoid strong acids, bases and oxidizers that can jeopardize HDPE.

Can the ECO Funnel® be kept on the waste bottle 24 hrs a day?
We recommend that the ECO Funnel be removed from a waste container when not in use, just like any other funnel. They are for the collection of temporary waste only. Waste should be frequently transferred to a more permanent waste container for optimum safety.
