Why Should Your Melt Shop Have an Environmental Coordinator?

摘要

Designating an environmental coordinator within the melt shop has produced positive results, enabling the melt shop to stay compliant (from upset reporting to facility audits), increase employee environmental awareness through development and implementation of training, and implement trials on new technologies. The coordinator's firsthand experience with new technologies, prior to implementing a full-scale conversion, permits Chaparral to make both cost-effective and environmentally responsible decisions. Chaparral understands that it has to accept the responsibility for the environmental aspects of the entire process, including the generation and handling of co-products and wastes. The coordinator plays a vital role in Chaparral's goal to seek new solutions to old problems and to foster an environment in which upstream environmental compliance is the focus.
