Croda and the environment

Environmental success stories from around the world of Croda

		USA - Wetland project hailed a success In the mid 1990's, when Croda Inc needed to expand its Mill Hall (Pennsylvania) manufacturing site, the plans included filling in a natural wetland area. To ensure wetlands are not lost or destroyed, regulations stipulate that any wetland drained or filled in must be replaced in kind. It is now three years since the wetland was relocated, and all involved hail the project as a great success.
		Japan - Shiga shows the way A program of major investment at Croda Japan's Shiga factory has not only resulted in SHE (safety, health and environmental) improvements, but also has increased production capacity for Super refining - the 'jewel in the crown' of Croda Japan's refining technology - by a massive 50%.
		Crodamazon - A project of today with tomorrow in mind Apply Croda's expertise in 'natural chemistry' to the world's greatest natural resource - the Amazon Rainforest - and the result is a new, exciting product range whose benefits are more than purely 'cosmetic'.

UK - Packaging
Croda recognises the potential impact of waste packaging on the environment, and encourages its customers to recycle where possible.  For example in the UK, manufacturing sites meet the national packaging waste regulations by belonging to a compliance scheme which provides relevant consumer information on its website www.recycle-more.co.uk .
