Innovative disposal and conservation techniques are constantly being created within EBSCO divisions. In 2006, Vulcan Industries in Moody, Alabama, changed to a low phosphate, low temperature paint wash system. The change eliminated the need to dump wash holding tanks and significantly reduced water consumption and waste water treatment.

Several EBSCO manufacturing operations have applied Lean Manufacturing – a philosophy that shortens time between the order and the shipment by eliminating both employee and product waste. By refining the manufacturing process, eliminated waste will be converted into increasing available capacity, reduced cost, improved quality, increased customer satisfaction, and, ultimately, less waste from imperfect technique and work flow.

EBSCO works closely with its divisions and customers to maintain current recycling and conservation initiatives. By monitoring practices and procedures, EBSCO is able to pinpoint and address areas where new green initiatives can be implemented and help ensure a greener tomorrow.
