The unique concept of
environmental protection
We must clearly understand that in today's society is
a mass production, high consumption, the large number
of abandoned scrap-based society. In contrast to reduce
the burden on the environment is the cycle of society.
To achieve sustainable development, we must establish
a recycling - based society.
Positive environmental
initiatives
1 water - promoting the use of recycled water
2 energy - energy consumption will be reduced to a minimum
3 waste - waste to a minimum
4 chemical materials - chemical materials incidents
caused by environmental pollution or to minimize the
risk
5 natural coexistence - to preserve and restore the
natural environment inside and outside the enterprise
6 environmental awareness - to raise staff awareness
of the environment
A firm commitment to
environmental protection
Ecological sustainability is not just
an issue for today and tomorrow. As a manufacturing
company, WACKER continuously optimizes each process
sustainably in order to conserve resources and minimize
waste. Further goals are to generate energy as efficiently
as possible and clean up legacy chemicals in an environmentally
compatible way. This is why we have been adherents of
the chemical industry's Responsible Care? program from
the outset. The perpetual search for ways to improve
production facilities and processes, along with our
by-product recycling and intelligent production loops,
have steadily reduced WACKER's emissions to air, water
and soil in recent years. Our integrated management
system (IMS) infuses the sustainability ethos into all
operating processes and serves as a tool for evaluating
and monitoring ※environmental quality§ within
the company. Moreover, since 2004, our company＊s
own environmental performance assessment tool (EPAT)
has enabled us to compare ※apples with oranges§
§ throughout the Group and substantially sway investment
decisions.
6 Goals for Emissions,
Waste, and Energy
Our objective is to reduce the impact of our global
operations on air and water quality by reducing:
Energy Use 每 Goal: 20% Reduction per Pound of Production
Waste Water 每 Goal: 50% Reduction per Pound of Production
Waste 每 Goal: 50% Reduction per Pound of Production
Dioxin Emissions to Air and Water 每 Goal: 90% Reduction
Emissions of Priority Compounds 每 Goal: 75% Reduction
Chemical Emissions 每 Goal: 50% Reduction
