Rodon Group designated as landfill-free facility

January 9, 2012

The Rodon Group, a high-volume, custom plastic injection molder in Hatfield, Pa., has been designated as a landfill-free facility by Sustainable Waste Solutions LLC, a provider of recycling, waste transportation, and disposal to companies in southeastern Pennsylvania, Lehigh Valley, and Delaware.

Rodon’s manufacturing process minimizes packaging, transportation costs, waste, water consumption, and energy. All scrap is reused and recycled, and the company uses only nontoxic colorants, resins, lubricants, and cleaners.

The company recently installed plantwide motion sensor-activated, high-efficiency lighting to help save on energy costs, as well as three new cooling towers. Customers are offered a returnable/reusable packaging program, and all employees are able to participate in a recycling program that includes a drop-off for used lights, electronics, computer equipment, and batteries.
