On Earth Day in April we began a three part segment in our 2021 newsletters talking about environmental stewardship and what Hydra-Tech Pumps contributes to these efforts. We followed up in August with a second segment and will wrap it up here. Environmental responsibility is something that Hydra-Tech Pumps is always working on. From the offices to the manufacturing floor and machine shop, we are constantly looking at our processes and waste stream to see what we can do to reduce our impact on the environment. Here are some of the things Hydra-Tech Pumps does on a regular basis to protect the environment:

• Hydra-Tech Pumps participates annually in an electronics recycling event in Nesquehoning where computers, cables, phones, televisions and other electronic equipment are given to a company that recycles all of the components properly. In 2019 we sponsored our own event where we had Gaylord boxes in our plant that were filled up with electronics and eventually shipped to the same company for recycling and proper disposal.

• Waste oil recycling.

• Hydra-Tech Pumps uses clean propane to heat all of the manufacturing and office space at our facility.

• Pallet and Gaylord recycling. We receive a lot of product from our suppliers on pallets and in Gaylord style boxes. We reuse the majority of the pallets and Gaylord boxes that we receive to protect our customers’ shipments when we send them. 

We are doing our part to be minimize our impact on the environment and our environmental liability. Hopefully you are doing your part too!
