To our knowledge, we are the only chemical company in the world operating with a dry floor. No underground lines or drains insures that there is no chance of seepage and contamination of the ground water. With passive containment floors and non-penetrable subfloor protective barriers throughout the plant, even an accidental spill will not seep through to the ground. When we moved into our new facility in 1991 we were subjected to the toughest environmental standards in America. We took the challenge seriously and reduced our sewer discharge by 98% and through waste elimination complied with our disposal permit without having to pre-treat our effluent. For this accomplishment Chemical Technologies received the first Mecklenburg County EPA Environmental Excellence Award. Other environmental efforts include a recyling program for our packaging, an on-going waste minimization program and an internal recycling project for paper, cardboard, and aluminum.
