Seneffe/Belgium (Dow Corning) – Dow Corning has achieved significant progress in waste reduction, including a cut of up to 80 percent in process scrap at one of its manufacturing sites. The reductions have been achieved in part through the company’s materials conversion program, which converts or recycles its waste, scrap and off-spec silicone materials instead of sending them to landfill or incineration. Materials are then reprocessed into new products that meet customers' specifications. But the reduction also reflects actions at all operations to reduce waste. “Waste reduction emerged as the most important environmental issue facing manufacturing businesses nowadays in an international study we commissioned last year,” said Peter Cartwright, Dow Corning executive director for environment, health and safety. “Like many other companies Dow Corning is actively looking for ways to cut our waste levels.”
