We encourage in-plant recycling and have adopted the use of recyclable products and packaging.
We perform energy audits, and have installed energy-efficient lighting, employed more prudent use of transportation and more energy-efficient processes and machinery.
Our facility has worked to reduce emissions and better prevent pollutants from entering the surrounding air, water and land.
All of the above
