Zero Waste to Landfill

Essex Furukawa has embraced efforts to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfill. Our teams are working towards Zero Waste to Landfill status at all locations globally, and within our downstream management operations. By achieving this status globally we can reduce our environmental impact caused by the disposal of materials and turn waste into a valuable resource through beneficial reuse.

    Essex Furukawa is focused on the responsible sourcing of materials used in our manufacturing processes, including that of copper. This approach is one that is actively conscious about procuring products in ethical, sustainable, and socially conscious ways. We also hold ourselves accountable to understanding the impacts of our supply chain including investigating potential risks, opportunities for improvement, and information gaps as well as communicating them to all stakeholders.

    Essex Furukawa looks at a circular economy as an economic system that tackles global challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, waste, and pollution.
