Our pollution prevention effort stems from our environmental policy that reads:

One of our first objectives was to reduce the smoke caused by cleaning with flux (cleaning agent) and to filter furnace exhaust during fluxing. The furnace exhaust filtration during fluxing prevents pollution from exiting our facility and the flux we purchase is the cleanest burning flux available. In past years, large clouds of flux smoke could be seen while now hardly any smoke can be seen coming out of the filtration stacks.

We also set objectives and targets to reduce the amount of wastewater produced. Madison Precision Products has installed a state-of-the-art wastewater treatment program to reduce and/or eliminate the discharge of heavy metals and oil to grease to our POTW. We track and control the amount of wastewater processed and have exceeded our objectives and targets for reduction.

There are several major benefits of Madison Precision Products’ pollution prevention efforts:

• We purchase less water for our equipment, thereby saving natural resources.
• We release less treated wastewater into the sanitary sewer.
• The community benefits because reductions in the amount of wastewater lessens the possibility of releases of heavy metals and oil/grease to our POTW.

Madison Precision Products is also focusing on reducing compressed air consumption which in turn will save natural resources that are consumed creating electricity. We are also a partner in the Environmental Protection Agency Waste Wise Program.

Our environmental results are reviewed periodically to enable us to adjust objectives and targets. Madison Precision Products continues to examine any new aspects and associated impacts that need to be explored for action.
