THE DISPOSAL OF WASTE PAINT SLUDGE FROM THE PAINT FINISHING SYSTEM IN AUTOMOTIVE ASSEMBLY PLANTS IS A MASSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM IN ITS OWN RIGHT. THE FAST DIMINISHING LANDFILL SITES, THE SKYROCKETING COSTS AND THE CRADLE-TO-GRAVE RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY WERE CONSIDERATIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A UNIQUE SLUDGE DRYING TECHNOLOGY AT CHRYSLER. THE HISTORY OF THE PROJECT AT DODGE CITY ASSEMBLY AND CHRYSLER'S ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGIES OF WASTE REDUCTION ARE OUTLINED WITH EMPHASIS ON PAINT SLUDGE RECYCLING.
