An effluent treatment plan has been developed. The water treatment plant has been improved and recycled water is used for primary washes. Air emissions have been reduced, following installation of an air emission control device. Paper, cardboard and timber from broken packaging is either reused or recycled wherever possible. A Training and Systems Coordinator has been appointed.
Environmental training is now part of the induction process for all new staff.
New staff also receive a special edition of the company's in-house magazine which includes a section on environmental awareness and discharges to stormwater drains. The site environs are kept clean and tidy. Internal and external floors are swept to collect litter and other material which might otherwise enter stormwater drains. Potential liquid pollutants are stored in bunded areas. Continuous Improvement Teams led by non-management employees investigate better ways to improve environmental performance.
