As such, we will comply with applicable environmental laws, policies and regulations at all levels. We will seek to understand not only the requirements, but also the objectives behind the requirements so that we can comply not only with the letter of the law but with the intent.
Reduce/Reuse/Recycle: Templeman Co. seeks to minimize the environmental impact of its manufacturing operations and products through our efforts to reduce consumption, reuse and recycle. Whenever possible, we will recommend cost effective design changes to reduce raw material requirements and incorporate recycled materials, consistent with required levels of quality. We will seek to reuse or repurpose materials and products before discarding and to the greatest extent possible, will seek to recycle that which cannot be reused. Disposal of waste products that cannot be recycled is handled by licensed contractors in such a way as to prevent environmental contamination.
