To keep this top-of-mind, the company encourages reduction in paper waste and offers instructions related to the proper disposal of items such as batteries, printers cartridges, plastics and other recyclable materials. Water Management Water is another finite resource that needs protecting. The company collects data related water usage at its production facilities every month, which includes the wastewater generated. Goals are set for each site in an effort to reduce the amount of wastewater discharge. By applying more stringent standards to water management, the environmental impact on the overall water system is expected to diminish and Hanon Systems is focused on doing its part to preserve this resource. Chemical Management Hanon Systems strictly follows all regulations and guidelines regarding hazardous substances and works internally to a global system of data collection and monitoring.
