Conwed publishes Global Sustainability Report 2015
May 19, 2015 - United States Of America
Conwed, the leading plastic netting manufacturer, has published its Global Sustainability Report 2015.
Headquartered in Minnesota and with locations in two continents, Conwed has implemented best practices at all of its locations with the objective of increasing efficiency in their day to day operations and creating netting solutions that require less material and generate less waste.
According to the sustainability report, since 2009, Conwed has incorporated closed-loop systems to minimize use and disposal of processed water. Ongoing water usage audits, preventive maintenance, and identification of further improvement opportunities are designed to drive down water consumption in all of their plants. They have also focused on reusing as much resin waste internally as practical.
Additionally, Conwed found recycling outlets for waste that had previously been sent to landfills and invested in equipment and separation processes to facilitate the recycling of these materials, according to a company press release.
Conwed not only relied on its own internal resources and expertise for its sustainability efforts, but also partnered and collaborated with suppliers and customers benchmarking best practices to improve its own operations.
With a broad plastic netting portfolio such as extruded, oriented and knitted netting used in hundreds of industrial and consumer products around the world, Conwed continues to set a global standard for sustainability in the netting industry. (GK)
