Many locations have waste and material minimization programs in place to ensure that packaging and other materials meet their environmental specifications. Types of packaging minimization initiatives that we use today include reusing materials when feasible, such as:

  • Returning wood pallets to a vendor for reuse
  • Using the end of roll paper as packing material.

As with our pollution control efforts, our locations use a variety of methods to reduce the amount and type of waste that they generate, examples include:

  • Recycling of materials when feasible
  • Using cloth shop towels that are laundered and reused
  • Sending used oil to a third party for recycling
  • Repairing and reusing broken/damaged pallets

Our efforts have reduced air toxic emissions by more than 80 percent, which is ahead of the dates proposed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and by more than their targets.
