Comments Off on 3D Printing Plant Hits Zero Waste To Landfill Status
DUSSELDORF, Germany, April 20, 2021 (ENS) – Henkel’s, the German firm founded in 1876 that today manufactures adhesives and resins for 3D printing, has achieved zero production waste to landfill status at its Dixon facility in California. Achieving this status is a global initiative, and already more than 66 percent of Henkel’s Adhesive Technologies production facilities worldwide have reached zero production waste-to-landfill status, including eight in the United States.
Production waste at the Dixon site includes non-hazardous materials such as cardboard, paper and other packaging materials, which are recycled. But until recently, other materials that were not as easy to recycle were sent to landfills. With the development of new capabilities and business processes, Henkel has confirmed that its vendor could process additional materials for energy recovery, enabling the facility to completely reach its goal for zero production waste-to-landfill, ZWTL, status.
