About Zachary Babb

As a dedicated business development professional with over eight years of experience in the environmental and industrial gas sectors, I specialize in driving sustainable growth and strategic partnerships. My journey began as a Purchasing Intern, where I honed my skills in client relations and sales processes. Over the years, I’ve transitioned into roles that focus on market expansion, compliance, and innovative recycling solutions.Previously, as a Regional Account Manager at A-Gas, I marketed R134a, R404a, and other refrigerants, primarily within the automotive sector. I am passionate about increasing the recycling of aerosols and promoting environmentally friendly practices, helping manufacturers transform waste into valuable resources. My role involves not just closing deals but also educating clients on life-cycle refrigerant management and sustainable practices that align with their business goals. Another previous role I served was as an Environmental Projects Developer, where I supported California\'s Cap-and-Trade market and promoted CFC destruction projects that offset carbon emissions. My ability to navigate complex regulatory frameworks and build strategic relationships has been pivotal in expanding our aerosol recycling business and issuing voluntary offset credits.With a strong foundation in negotiation, project management, and data analysis, I thrive on identifying new business opportunities and creating tailored solutions for my clients. I am committed to fostering long-term partnerships that drive both profitability and sustainability.Let\'s connect if you’re looking for a proactive partner to elevate your business while making a positive impact on the environment!

Experience

1. National Account Manager

   Recycle Aerosol, Llc

   Jan 2025 — Present · Bells, TN, US

   I work with aerosol manufacturers and consumer product brands to provide a more sustainable, cost-effective solution for managing unsaleable products. This includes aerosols and other liquid consumer goods that are defective, mislabeled, discontinued, expired, or otherwise unable to be sold.By partnering directly with brands and manufacturers, I help divert these materials from traditional disposal methods and landfill, reducing waste while lowering overall disposal costs. Our process fully destroys the original product to protect brand integrity, while responsibly recovering all components and recycling them into their respective markets.My focus is on building long-term relationships and helping companies turn a complex waste challenge into a responsible, streamlined solution that makes sustainability a practical business decision, not a burden.
