Argex Titanium has announced that it s engaging in pro-active measures towards setting its Health, Safety and Environmental Policy (HSE), as well as its code of conduct and ethics.
"Argex believes it is necessary to start the process of integrating all actions and conduct in coordination with the best practices of the industry," said Roy Bonnell, CEO of Argex.
Some of the main attributes of Argex technology relate to the capacity of reducing waste, environmental hazards and the carbon footprint. Within the $17 billion titanium dioxide manufacturing industry, Argex technology takes landfill-bound waste and converts it into highly sellable FeCL3 by product as part of its TiO2 production process. In addition, when applied in chlorine-based TiO2 production, there is no chlorine gas stage.
"As these represent strong advantages of using our technology, we need to start planning immediately for a comprehensive approach for HSE that is integrated in our code of conduct and complies with the highest environmental and industry standards," Bonnell said.
As a member of the Chemistry Industry Association of Canada, Argex has committed to adhere to the stringent codes of conduct established by the Association's Responsible Care initiative, now practiced in more than 60 countries.
