Environmental Impact Assessment
Given the scope of the company’s operation, we have taken into account the detailed impact of the process on the environment:
Environment Consideration
Waste effluent from the factory is removed by mains sewage provided by both public and private agencies engaged by the company.
Noise
This, as far as practicable is crafted, is non-harmful emission from the machinery, soundproof generating are employed and noise reduction systems are embedded in the design of some machinery.
Air Quality
The production process ordinarily does not have any serious effects on the outside environment. Odours from the mixing processes are however present, this effect is mitigated by use of the nose and mouth masks in the factory.
Liquid Waste
This is accumulated from washing of machine parts. These liquid waste are disposed off by piping to an underground collecting tank where upon they are emptied and disposed by licensed operators within the state.
