PLZ Corp ESG Report 2021

PLZ ESG REPORT 2021 RESULTS

SUSTAINABLE OPERATIONS

Water and Wastewater Management Protecting the Earth’s most precious natural resources. We’re aware water is becoming increasingly scarce in certain regions. It’s important for PLZ Corp to do our part to conserve as much as we can. We use water as an ingredient in our products, as a medium to test the integrity of our aerosol products, and to clean our operational equipment. Often the water we use as an ingredient is run through a filtration system to achieve the necessary purity demanded by our customers. To test the physical integrity of our aerosol products, we pass them through a heated water bath to ensure that the aerosols meet Department of Transportation standards. PLZ Corp has operating procedures to capture line washes and divert them for further treatment to the greatest degree possible. Our manufacturing facilities that make industrial products do not discharge to wastewater treatment facilities.

We will inventory all our manufacturing facilities on their water and wastewater profiles and evaluate all water systems with the goal of identifying opportunities to standardize operations and develop water use reduction strategies, prioritizing locations where water-stress is most prevalent. In future annual ESG reports we’ll report our progress on these goals to increase water efficiency and reduce water emissions.
