Motivation ITU has sought to be a good corporate citizen in the communities it serves by protecting the environment through proper waste handling. Pollution Prevention Process ITU provides reusable textiles as an alternative to disposable paper wipes and washroom towels. ITU launders these textiles which are soiled with a variety of industrial materials. ITU designed a system for the removal of contaminants from these textiles and then turns them into recyclable liquids, liquids for incineration, or solids for harmless landfill disposal. As part of this system, ITU installed a water filtration and treatment system that purifies water used in the laundering process and allows for its reuse.
Extracted oil is refined and reused as a secondary fuel.
ITU has been able to reduce the amount of chemicals used to treat the water by using new technology and the water treatment system. Disposal Saturated disposable products were landfilled or drummed for incineration. The liquids and industrial applications remain the same. The soiled products are laundered by ITU to remove waste fluids. Wastewater is treated and recycled.
