What happens when you relandscape a traditional garden with native plants? You eliminate the need for water irrigation. That’s exactly what we did in San Luis Potosí, Mexico, where water shortages are common.
Each year, we use 213,000 lbs of recycled polymer in our crankcase ventilation products. To date, we have used 1.5 million lbs of recycled polymer, which equates to 50 9-ton dump trucks of landfill savings. Keeping products like this out of landfill helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
We recently installed solar panels on the parking lot at our manufacturing plant in San Luis Potosí, Mexico. The panels can generate more than 1.2m kWh per year, the equivalent of planting 300 hectares of forest every year.
