EcoMission Classification
Minimizing our impact on the environment is part of HA's EcoMission. Our goal is to minimize foundry environmental impact throughout our product's life cycles, with an ongoing commitment to continuous improvement. View our video.
To be recognized as an EcoMission classification, each of our products must meet at least three out of five environmental criteria:
- Utilizes water or renewable components
- Utilizes recycled components
- Low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC)
- Low Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP)
- Low Odor
Products
Product performance is paramount to our EcoMission. Our EcoMission products must not only have improved environmental attributes but also must yield high-quality castings at an overall cost that allows our customers to compete and succeed in the global marketplace. All products that are part of HA's Environmental Solution will be marked with our EcoMission leaf.
