Environmental responsibility is something that Hydra-Tech Pumps is always working on, even when it isn’t Earth Day. 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. In our 2021 newsletters, we will publish three segments on our efforts in April, August and December highlighting our efforts. Here are some of the things Hydra-Tech Pumps does on a regular basis to protect the environment:

  • Since moving the business to Nesquehoning in 2007, we have always recycled our paper, cardboard, aluminum, glass and plastic. This is actually a cost to the company as we have a single stream dumpster on site that allows us to properly dispose of these kinds of items for reuse as recycled content in new products.

  • We recycle the ink cartridges from all of our printers.

  • Paperless punch clock and paperless payroll.

  • We recycle steel, aluminum, stainless steel and other materials that are a byproduct of our in house machining of parts. Thousands of pounds of metals are recycled by Hydra-Tech Pumps every year.

Doing the right thing isn’t always cheap and it isn’t always easy. However we believe in leaving a place better than we found it so we are diligent about recycling and properly dealing with the waste stream generated by our business.
