Focus on environmental compliance
Everyone in our operation understands the importance of meeting environmental regulations. Our processes do not generate any regulated hazardous waste, and our state-of-the-art wastewater treatment system, installed in 2008, helps us closely monitor our water usage. We have had no wastewater excursions since it was put in place, and work diligently to keep it that way.
