Responsible Environmental Management is both an SCA corporate goal and a reality. We're in business for the long run and have a commitment to our community and to you — the customer.

An Engineered System

Overall SCA has an engineered environmental program in place that is designed to conserve, reclaim, and recycle resources, as well as meet or exceed federal and state regulations. Specifically, SCA has internally engineered, elementally segregated waste treatment and reclamation systems for each process chemistry. All production areas are engineered with spill containment and reclamation systems. We also have a complete back-up power system so that we can handle any emergency situation. Proper environmental management requires complete knowledge and understanding of our processes. The key to that is the SCA Toxicology Program.

The Environmental Management Program is not restricted to a specific facility: SCA and PMI maintain their own engineered systems. A staff of Environmental Engineers works at each plant, sharing ideas, data, and information. Each operation has in place extensive education and training programs designed to keep SCA/PMI personnel completely updated on methods and systems being developed around the world. Nothing is left to doubt or trial and error. Our commitment is very straightforward: The cleaner, the better - for everyone.

Toxicology — The Key to Effective Management

The SCA Toxicology program represents a step into the future of Environmental Management. This program gives SCA a critical R&D tool that allows us not only to effectively treat current waste but also to conduct research on better, more effective methods of treatment, conservation, reclamation and recycling. The ultimate goal of the SCA Toxicology Program is zero discharge.
