The Calavo Way: Waste and Water NORTHAMPTON, MA | ACCESSWIRE | September 29, 2022 | Calavo seeks to minimize pollution to land, water and air because we understand that responsibly managing our waste streams is important to our business and to the communities in which we operate. Each facility is subject to different legal and regulatory requirements and has different waste and water opportunities and challenges; however our approach remains consistent. Solid Waste: Every facility has a program for managing solid waste and recycling. To the extent possible, we aim to divert waste away from the landfill to recycling, reuse or composting. Hazardous Waste: All of our facilities are required to obtain and maintain relevant permits for the storage and transfer of hazardous waste, and we have policies and management systems in place at facilities to ensure materials are stored, labeled and handled properly. Spills: We have procedures in place for spills, including roles and responsibilities, emergency notifications and mitigation steps.
