ISO14001:2004 CERTIFICATION

MPC has achieved ISO 14001:2004 Certification. ISO 14001:2004 is a voluntary international standard for environmental management. It outlines the framework for the creation and implementation of an environmental management system (EMS). ISO 14001:2004 requires that companies go "beyond compliance" and identify specific proactive ways that the environment can be protected.

"Our commitment to certification confirms that environmental excellence is a top priority for MPC," said David Kutoff, President/CEO, MPC. “We are proud of our reputation in the Electronics Recycling industry for high standards of environmental excellence and we believe certification further demonstrates our commitment to the environment and continual improvement."

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) www.iso.org is an independent worldwide federation that promotes the development and implementation of voluntary international standards. ISO consists of representatives from 146 countries, with the United States represented by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) www.ansi.org.

QUALITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

Customer Focused

MPC is committed to our customers. This commitment is reflected in providing quality service, maximization of return on assets and the minimization of recycling costs.

MPC is committed to earning our Customer’s loyalty through doing things right the first time, every time.

The direct measure of how well we are delivering on our quality commitment is the degree to which we meet our Customers' requirements and exceed their expectations.

Performance Driven

Performance is achieved by teamwork and a process and culture of continual improvement achieved through monitoring and rigorous evaluation.

MPC strives to continually improve our processes, products and services to deliver solutions of the highest value.

Environmentally Based

MPC is committed to providing the highest quality recycling, remarketing, and recovery of our customer's electronic equipment through environmentally proper methods.

MPC is committed to leading our industry in environmentally sound methods for processing material. 

MPC is committed to the prevention of pollution through a commitment to maintaining our strict “No Landfill" policy, which states that MPC will not landfill any material which it processes, generates or utilizes within its operation.

MPC is committed to comply with all legal and other requirements.

MPC is committed to communicate and reinforce this policy throughout the company, to our customers, our suppliers and to the public.

POLLUTION PREVENTION

It is the policy of MPC to prevent any pollution of our environment. This has and will continue to be implemented by the CEO of the corporation. Typical examples of how this is being accomplished are as follows:

1. An ongoing, aggressive installation program of state-of-the-art equipment for any fume or dust generation process.
2. Formal employee education and training programs.
3. Evaluation of all processes for environmental impact alternatives.

Included in MPC’s recovery technology are baghouse dust collection systems for the shredder as well as any operations where dust is generated. Dust collection hoods have been modified for increased containment. Baghouse dust collection systems have vacuum gauges installed to alert operators if a tear or hole develops in a bag. To further enhance dust minimization, MPC routinely cleans the production area floor with a water scrubber floor vacuum. The water from the scrubber is collected and evaporated to recover the dirt and dust particles, which are then dried and recycled. A separate dedicated water washing and collection system is used periodically to wash down the walls and equipment within the shred room. The recovered wash water is also evaporated, dried and recycled.
