Electro-Motive Receives Governor's Pollution Prevention Award

LaGrange, Illinois - Electro-Motive has received the 2004 Illinois Governor's Pollution Prevention Award for its commitment to pollution prevention through waste reduction and product substitution.

Electro-Motive was recognized for efforts to recycle materials generated at its LaGrange facility and to minimize environmental impacts of substances used in manufacturing processes. Materials sent for recycling include used oils, pallets, scrap wood, cardboard, paper and computers. The facility has reduced emissions through the use of reformulated engine paint, implemented the use of lead-free solder for maintenance activities, substituted more environmentally friendly products for those formerly used in cutting processes and engine and tool cleaning, reduced the volume of water in industrial sludge, increased the volume of oil sent for recycling, and donated more than 500 used office computers to a not-for-profit organization for refurbishing.

"The projects honored by the Governor's Pollution Prevention Awards show that Electro-Motive is working hard at being a good steward of the environment," said George VanderVelde, Director of the Waste Management & Research Center (WMRC), a division of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. "Through product substitution, implementation of an Environmental Management System, and aggressive recycling, Electro-Motive is proving that what is good for the environment also is good for business."

The WMRC reviewed Illinois businesses and organizations for their pollution prevention efforts. Electro-Motive was one of four businesses to receive the award in the Large Industry category.

"We are proud of the efforts of our UAW-GM employees that led to this recognition," said Nat Harris, Electro-Motive Director of LaGrange Operations. "Our commitment to the environment continues and is consistent with our beliefs and values on being a good corporate citizen."
