Commitment to a Safer and Sustainable Recycling Industry
SevenGen believes that a thriving recycling industry is about the sustainability of our planet and the protection of the people who make this important work possible.
The recycling industry employs over a million people in the US. Everyday, their work continually reduces landfill waste, conserves our natural resources, saves energy, and prevents pollution. They’re creating cleaner, healthier, and more successful communities.
Our decades of experience with industry leaders from across the country enable us to understand how to best improve employee safeguards and community protections. Their safety and well-being are core motivators of our work.
SevenGen’s Industrial Hygiene team routinely assesses employee exposures to risk factors like metal fumes/dust, coating and insulation-related thermal decomposition/byproducts, residual hazardous chemicals, heat, noise, and respirable dust including silica. We collaborate with HSE leaders to build programs and policies that foster healthy work practices. Our ENV teams assess operational processes and quantify potential emissions to air and water. Using data-driven information, we create programs, policies, and permits that drive environmentally responsible recycling operations. Our Safety Pros evaluate physical risks associated with the operations, equipment, and material handling. Together with our partners, we’re creating safer work environments to ensure employees in this industry are protected at the highest levels.
The recycling industry has a tremendous impact, and we’re proud to support this work. We’re motivated by the industry’s contributions to the future of our Earth and those who keep it spinning!
