The Indiana Partners for Pollution Prevention has welcomed Hanson Aggregates into a programme in which members pledge to implement environmental initiatives at their facility.
Indiana Partners says member organisations also share information with other businesses, foster environmental stewardship among their employees, and help raise public awareness.
The membership provides each company with opportunities to network with other industries, businesses, non-profit organisations and governmental entities which share an interest in pollution prevention.
They can also learn about the financial and environmental benefits of pollution prevention projects from the Partners organisation.
Hanson is a producer of crushed stone, sand and gravel in the US. The Harding Street Quarry in Indianapolis, Indiana, is an Environmental Stewardship Council Member that is monitored by the Indiana Mineral and Aggregates Association.
