Environment Month – Focus on Clean
DENSO Eco-VISION ACTION 10’s third commitment is to doubling our clean efforts. This commitment has a particular focus on cleaning our production locations through water consumption reductions, improvements in recycling, elimination and reduction of toxic materials and increasing education for all.
In addition to supporting our environmental sustainability goals, this commitments also supports two of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDG):
DENSO Contributions
DENSO locations across North America have been working with suppliers to minimize the use of Substance of Concern chemicals in our products. DENSO has integrated compliance checks into our product development process to assure requirements related to Substance of Concern are met prior to start of production.
DENSO locations also have comprehensive waste management programs that strive to maximize the reduction, reuse and recycling waste materials. Associate input has seen programs expand to returnable cans, bottles and K-Cups at various locations.
COVID-19 has created a situation with a low demand for recycled materials.
Associates can aide by not generating scrap and ensuring strong segregation when sorting recycled materials. Mixing of waste and recyclables lowers their value and more likely to be sent to landfill
What You Can Do
Take your DENSO Spirit to find clean efficiencies in your life. Some examples:
- Pay bills online instead of paper bills
- Freeze fresh produce and leftovers to save food and money
- Understand your local recycling guidelines to recycle efficiently
- Buy funny or ugly fruits and vegetables. These are produce items that are usually discarded due to looks despite being edible. Purchase of this items helps reduce unnecessary food waste.
