Since 1981, sustainability has been the heart of our foundation, culture, and principles. At Logan Aluminum, we believe it is our duty to support our community, protect the environment in which we work and live, and provide leadership in state and local organizations.

Our effort in environmental sustainability includes investments in air pollution control equipment, recycling many types of non-product outputs including wooden pallets, cardboard, electronics, white paper, as well as many other things. Additionally, we have an established Energy Reduction Task Force that is charged with minimizing total plant energy usage through investment of new technology and continuous improvement activities.

We shall:

• Meet or surpass all governmental requirements
• Reduce the severity of environmental incidents
• Reduce, reuse and recycle process materials and waste streams
• Review and advocate effective pollution control technologies and best practices
• Continue to improve environmental communications, quality of environmental reporting and follow-up, training and awareness programs.

Logan Aluminum sets new goals and initiatives each year that directly impact our environmental sustainability. 

Currently, we have projects in place to upgrade our infrastructure, enhance our treatment systems, develop new data analytics, and pursue new energy-related technologies. To protect the environment, Logan Aluminum provides training and supports local recycling efforts in our school systems and communities. Additionally, we have an established Energy Reduction Task Force that is charged with minimizing total plant energy usage through investment of new technology and continuous improvement activities.

Our efforts in environmental compliance and sustainability include investments in pollution control equipment, water quality and reuse, risk mitigation and recycling and reuse of many of our by-products. The Logan Aluminum Wetlands is a man-made ecosystem spanning over 40 acres, which provides natural filtration of our processed wastewater and reduces our dependence on energy and treatment chemicals.

Logan Aluminum is dedicated to environmental stewardship in all facets which are material to our operation and community. The following plans detail our efforts to manage resources in ways that uphold our longstanding commitment to sustainable operation.

Our strategy to reduce direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions includes:  

• Pursuing strategic partnerships to increase rail transportation, ultimately reducing indirect emissions from over the road traffic.
• Lowering energy intensity across the site through efficient practices, including making switches to energy efficient electrical components, and improving workflow inefficiencies.
• Investigating strategic partnerships with technology innovators in carbon reduction and waste energy recovery.
• Developing systems to better monitor direct and indirect emissions.
• Lowering direct emissions by utilizing hydrogen and electric powered industrial vehicles.
• Improving carbon literacy on a plant level to improve engagement and innovation.
• Collaborating with industry groups and peers to align with the adoption of emerging technologies.
• Implementing carbon reduction technologies determined to be technically and financially viable.
