About Crown

ENVIRONMENT
Crown places a high priority on environmental matters. Environmental commitment and pollution prevention are a fundamental part of our business philosophy. We continuously assess areas of potential environmental impact in our manufacturing activities. We are committed to policies and business practices aimed at reducing the impact of our manufacturing operations and products on the environment. Environmental considerations are also paramount in all technological developments ensuring that new products encompass environmental benefits.

Crown respects the environment and is committed to environmentally sound business practices around the world, thus taking into account the need to preserve natural resources and save energy. Crown's commitment goes beyond legal compliance to include participation in voluntary programs that go beyond legislative regulations.

Areas of Environmental Action include:

• Conserving natural resources - reduce water consumption, save raw materials (lightweighting), and save energy.
• Reducing the emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
• Recycling nearly 100% of the aluminum, steel, copper, resins, solvents and other raw materials used in the manufacturing process. In addition to raw material recycling, Crown recycles packaging and packing material such as chipboard, scrap wood, wood pallets, plastic strapping and pails and coil packaging material, among others.
• Managing waste -- both at the point of production and post-consumer.
• Using environmentally friendly technologies.
• Support high rates of recycling for our products by using recycled materials in our production.
• Complying with all local, state and national environmental regulations.
