Given that the preferred disposal of ethylene glycol is to a recycling unit any processing would likely make recycling more difficult.

"Antifreeze" is usually made of ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors and foam controllers. Ethylene glycol is toxic if ingested. It can be particularly hazardous because animals and children may be attracted to its sweet flavor. If they drink the ethylene glycol it could cause coma or death. Some antifreeze is made of "propylene glycol". This material is "less hazardous" to humans and animals than ethylene glycol.
