According to its website, EDS seeks to solve the problem of disposing of energetic materials, explosive contaminated items, and munitions in an environmentally-friendly manner. Demilitarization is the neutralization and/or disposal of explosives, energetics, propellants, military munitions and related items. Historically, according to ESD, this has been primarily completed by open-burning or open-detonating (OB/OD) materials in a pit. This can cause contamination to the environment, air, water, animals and even humans. ESD's mission is to be America's clean alternative to open burning. ESD cleanly neutralizes materials and energetics in an environmentally-friendly manner. All materials are safely processed and filtered through our revolutionary technologies. The typical result is little-to-no detectable levels of emissions. ESD strives to achieve maximum levels of materials recovery to enable all resulting alloys and metals to be recycled once completing the demilitarization process. ESD is managed by a team of experienced defense industry and explosive handling experts.
