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.
Below are a few examples of Thomson’s achievements in our efforts to preserve our natural resources.
THE EARTH
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.
THE AIR
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 tele­v i sion 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.
THE WATER
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 mi llion 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.
Please do not send any products to the Indianapolis address listed in this manual or on the carton. This will only add delays in service for your product.
