Use appropriate technology to reduce nitrogen oxide
generation when it has a positive impact on tropospheric ozone
levels. Options include using technologies like dry NOx
combustors, steam/water injection for industrial gas turbines,
low NOx burners.

Publish an environmental, health and safety progress report to
communicate our performance to the public and key company
stakeholders.

Continue to search for CFC and HCFC alternatives and further develop the use of naturally occurring CO2 as a blowing agent substitute for other materials with higher global warming potential ratings.

Include energy conservation as a program goal in the newly published "Dow Environmental Management Standard". Participation in the EPA's 30/50 program. Will continue where possible beyond goal of a 50% reduction in SARA-listed compounds. Will also evaluate options to set a new baseline for future emission levels.

Eliminated CFCs from all plastic foam products.

Eliminated emissions of SARA-listed compounds by 50.6%.

Participate in EPA Motor Challenge program.

Promote insulation products that help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Establish an energy management structure to review energy consumption on a plant to plant basis and create strategies to reduce global energy use.

Increase efficiency of insulation, passive cooling and heating,

and environmental control system (programmable controllers). Expanded Implemented equipment changes to reduce energy

consumption in winery operations. Will further reduce energy

consumption at waste water ponds.

Packages will be produced from 100% recycled material and non-toxic environmentally-safe inks. We will be the leader in state-of-the-art environmental design and implementation. The glass will be 100% recycled material.

Implement Ford Motor Company's Total Waste Program. Use one of three Ford approved waste haulers for all waste, resulting in a cost savings of a min. of 5%/yr. for a min. of three years according to the terms of the contract.
