<p>In our manufacturing sites, we have implemented processes to reduce, recycle and reuse materials that potentially can become waste, such as containers, pallets, and solvents. We also aim to minimize the amount of sludge from our wastewater. This reduces disposal volumes and energy needed for transportation. Across all of our sites, we monitor and manage the volume of our waste disposal.</p> <p>Solenis also delivers superior value by providing solutions to challenges and identifying opportunities to manage natural resources.&nbsp; We help our customers minimize waste and improve their ability to design and manufacture their products in a more environmentally responsible way.&nbsp; We also integrate circular economy principles in our innovations. Solenis continues to increase packaging efficiency and significantly reduce its packaging footprint by designing products for reuse and recycling.</p>
