At Webco, we know that being a good neighbor and a positive part
of our communities is just as important as the bottom line. As
a result, we embarked in 1993 on a five year program to reduce
the waste released by Webco in all phases of its operations. At
the end of this initial phase, waste was reduced by 90% and Webco
was honored with the Environmental Excellence Award in Pollution
Prevention for Region VI by the EPA in 1998. Note
that we said "initial phase". Our efforts to reduce
waste and emissions continues, and will continue in the future,
for two simple reasons: waste reduction contributes to Webco's
goal of being a good neighbor in its communities, and it also
has reduced operating costs by over $100,000 per year. That's
a winning combination.
