CREATING A GREENER FUTURE
At Thomson Consumer Electronics we are dedicated to the preservation of our
natural heritage and to a healthy and safe way of life for current and future
generations. This is a global effort which encompasses every THOMSON facility
throughout the world.
We believe that clean air, clean water, a protected earth, and healthy people are
not only practical and desirable goals, but achievable ones as well. Our Corporate
Environmental, Health and Safety Charter acknowledges our commitment to
protect these precious assets and provides a challenging vision and guideline for
conducting our business.
_._THOMSONCONSUMERELECTRONICS
Below are a few examples of Thomson's achievements in our efforts to preserve our natural resources.
THE WATER
Thomson reclaims millions of pounds
of hazardous waste annually, diverting
it from landfills.
Thomson treats millions of pounds of
waste water sludge annually and
/ renders it non-hazardous.
Thomson recycles over 50 million
pounds of non-hazardous material
annually that otherwise would have
been treated as trash, an overall
recovery rate of 50%.
Thomson globally recycles millions of
pounds of broken television picture
tube glass annually through both
internal and external reclaim processes.
Thomson has also increased its usage of recycled materials for packaging of our products. For example, in the U.S. and
Mexico our television plants use recycled content in our television cartons and instruction booklets. The inks used for the print
on cartons and instruction booklets are soy based. For a free brochure regarding Thomson's Environmental Health and Safety
Programs, write to Thomson Consumer Electronics' address below, attention Environmental Programs: INH340.
Thomson has replaced solvent-based
paints at many locations resulting in an
80% reduction in toxic air emissions for
equivalent material used.
Thomson has eliminated the use of
ozone-depleting substances at
television manufacturing facilities
around the world.
"Thomson collects and returns over 1.5
million pounds of glass and furnace
dust to the glass making process
annually.
Thomson has launched worldwide
energy savings programs which
contribute to efforts to reduce air
emissions from electrical generating
facilities.
Thomson recovers over 2 million
pounds of fine glass particles from
process water each year and recycles
them back into its glass furnaces.
Thomson's state-of-the-art waste water
treatment plants filter out over 26
million pounds of solids from process
water each year.
Thomson's U.S. glass factory recycles
2,500 gallons of water per minute and
cleans 2.6 million gallons of water per
day.
Thomson is researching new processes
and is developing new manufacturing
equipment and technologies to further
reduce large volume water use.
