IFS marks a breakthrough technology in the emerging field of environmental contamination prevention at its manufacturing source. Instead of treating pollution affecting the environment, IFS can be used to prevent contamination from occurring from anything metal or that discharges metals.

The revolutionary IFS process can be referred to as a "smart waste," technology.

IFS targets the consumer manufacturing sector at its source. IFS can be applied to a multitude of products, including switches, batteries, filters, munitions, computer parts, or any item that contains heavy metals such as lead, mercury and chromium. IFS will not change the efficacy and use of these products. The only change that will occur is once these products are disposed of improperly or in a designated landfill they will be "environmentally friendly" as they will automatically remediate themselves so that no metals will migrate into the environment.

The battery market alone disposes 600 million units in the United Kingdom, and billions more in the world market. IFS can also be applied to the more than 100,000 tons of lead pellets that are dispersed on the ground or buried in North America from shooting skeet. Additionally, the U.S. Army produces roughly 800 million rounds in its plants. In the European Union, each person generates 1 to 15 kilos per year in computer waste. With very few computer parts being recycled, heavy metal contamination is becoming a growing concern.

IFS is poised to address the long-term problem of improper disposal of home electronics products such as cell phone batteries, computers, etc. IFS is positioned to eliminate this centuries old environmental problem.
