I'm guessing you are referring to
Golden Crash Paint Solids Waste Water Cleaning System
For others reading this, you can see how it works on their
YouTube video
I also found the SDS's for the SDS of solution 1 and the neutralizing solution.
Some thoughts:
They are selling it as a paint solids solidifying agent; they make no claims about it eliminating hazardous waste components. If they did, it would be "treatment."
For paint solutions that don't exhibit a hazardous waste profile (either from testing or knowledge) it seems like a slick way of processing the paint solutions.
For paint solutions that exhibited a hazardous waste profile, you now have solids and/or liquids that are still hazardous waste and need to be disposed of as such.
A couple of other observations, Crash solution 1 has an acidic pH and the Neutralizer solution has a basic pH - both list corrosive eye hazards of 2A and when using either one of them you would need an eyewash available.
You also would need to pH the final liquid solution to determine if it meets the pH requirements of the local sewer ordinance.
And, note that the solids, when put into the trash, can't have any "free liquids." By definition, any liquid dripping through their filter paper would be considered "free liquids."
Finally, note your State's waste disposal rules or local drain and solid waste disposal rules may be more strict and/or simply prohibit disposal of these items.
