The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) featured the NWI Nashville site in its newsletter for our work toward sustainability as a Tennessee Green Star Partner. The article featured Philip Simon, our corporate EHS manager, and focused on three successes in 2021.
- Reducing the overall footprint for hazardous materials by 50% through recovery, reduction, and recycling
- Using higher grade filter media for paint operations allowing less frequent change-outs and resulting in a 63% reduction in disposal weight
- Reusing more than 92 million gallons of water, an annual reuse rate of 94% from the 97 million gallons of water consumed by the Nashville facility in 2021
