REDUCE, REUSE & RECYCLE

Most often referred to as the “three R’s”, the phrase “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” is a simple formula that encourages people, businesses, and municipalities t o utilize goods that are already manufactured rather than continue to use only limited raw materials to produce replacement goods. Hyundai L&C is committed to implementing this simple formula at all North American locations to achieve the following goals:

• Prevent pollution and promote reuse and recycling.
• Reduce priority and toxic chemicals in products and waste.
• Conserve energy and materials.

From recycling 100% of the water used in the production process, installing an air purification system to remove pollutants from the air to a system that collects all dust within the plant, we strive to ensure a healthy workplace along with an eco-conscious approach in product development, waste management and conservation efforts.

NORTH AMERICAN FACILITY

In keeping with Hyundai L&C USA ongoing commitment to environmentally friendly production, the 19,974 sq. m.state-of-the-art facility in Canada utilizes the most advanced, environmentally responsible manufacturing process. Located in London, Ontario, the facility solidifies Hyundai L&C USA's presence in North America as one of the leading producers of fine quartz surfaces – via its HanStone Quartz product line.

ENERGY

One of the most effective ways for us to contribute to the environment is through the conservation of energy. Our building was designed with a very sophisticated HVAC system with minimum air exchange required. And our hot oil-based heating system is a very efficient way to generate heat. As a best practice, we are continually reevaluating and reengineering our operating procedures, to reduce our energy consumption.

WATER

We understand the importance of water conservation and installed a water recycling system as an integral part of the building design and manufacturing process. Our North American plant recycles and reuses 100% of wastewater generated during manufacturing.

SOLID WASTE

Our goal is to reuse, renew or recycle as much of our own manufacturing waste as possible. At our manufacturing plant in Canada we have been able to work with local companies to utilize our byproducts and have challenged our team to reuse our waste and recycle material that cannot be reused.
