Our corporate values relative to the environment provide the essential backbone of our environmental policy:
"Protection of the environment must guide our actions. We will all strive to eliminate environmental effects as we produce our products."
The following five key components of our environmental policy emphasize commitment, leadership, and pollution prevention while producing our products and protecting employees:
AT-GC Technology is committed to protecting the environment
We will do this by leadership, "Operating Excellence" in our industry, and promotion of cooperation and coordination between industry, government, and the public toward pollution prevention
We will produce our products while striving to eliminate environmental effects
When wastes or releases cannot be avoided, we will manage our processes by an established priority to minimize any undesirable impacts on the environment.
This priority is:
Reduction of wastes at the source
On-site recycling
Off-site recycling
Treatment to reduce the toxicity and volume of the release.
The successful implementation of this plan will enable AT-GC to maintain a safe and healthy work place for our employees and our community.
AT-GC is currently developing technologies
that will help monitor undesirable compounds in water, air and solids through
out the product life cycle. The technologies are based on non-invasive real time
Near Infra red sensors and Nanotechnology based sensor arrays.
