EEJS, which manufactures commercial jets, will use its two facilities at Hollywood International Airport in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport in Mesa to recycle over 200 pounds of lead Arizona as part of its commitment to the NPEP program.
NPEP that has been formed by EPA with goal of reducing the use or release of 4 million pounds of 31 highly toxic, priority chemicals found in America’s manufacturing processes by 2011, has established a National Waste Minimization Goal to act as a measurement of program success.
EPA Region 4regional administrator Gwen Fleming said that protecting the environment is a team effort and EPA is pleased to welcome Embraer as a new partner in the fight to reduce pollution and create a cleaner, healthier environment.
