Eemax Zero Waste to Landfill Waste Audit
We performed a baseline waste audit at our Eemax® facility in Waterbury, CT, to see where we could improve our waste streams and work toward Our 2025 Commitment to Responsible Processes – By 2025, Rheem® will achieve zero waste to landfill in its global manufacturing operations. Watch to see where we started and where we’re going.
