Roof-top Dust Collectors,
Phenol Recovery Plant
Demonstrate Plenco’s
Commitment to
Environmental Protection,
Sustainability
Plenco dust collectors help clean the
air while recovering materials that can
be recycled. Our phenol recovery plant
reclaims phenol from production conden-
sate for reuse, minimizing waste while re-
ducing overall demand for virgin phenol.
The environment in which we live and work is of utmost
importance to Plenco. The principle and process are clear.
Ever since our founding, Plenco has been a good employer,
supplier and neighbor when it comes to the environment.
We have implemented sustainable processes that are good
business as well. The design and location of our buildings,
plant processes and contingency planning have guided our
actions.
At all levels, our plant operations utilize management
practices and the best available technology to maximize
product quality and minimize environmental impact. These
carefully planned efforts have reduced production waste to
levels approaching zero
The United States Environmental Protection Agency
has awarded Plenco a Letter of Commendation in
recognition of our “voluntary initiative to reduce toxic
emissions and foster pollution prevention as the
preferred approach to environmental improvement.”
At our facilities, dust collectors help clean the air while
recovering materials that can be reused. Our phenol
recovery plant reclaims phenol from production condensate
for reuse, minimizing waste while reducing overall demand
for virgin phenol. These “green” practices and processes
support our customers’ requirements to meet
their
environ-
mental objectives as products move downstream through
the supply chain.
In May 2016, Plenco reorganized and expanded its initia-
tives covering environment, health and safety (EHS) by
placing EHS oversight directly under the Vice President of
Manufacturing, Adam Brotz.
Such reorganization further assures strict compliance with
all EHS laws and regulations.
