The 3M Alexandria plant makes and converts abrasive products. Our primary products are abrasive discs, rolls and belts. The facility is approximately 225,000 sqft under roof.

Commitment 1

Waste
Non-hazardous waste generation
All measurements should represent the performance level for the indicator across the entire facility. For many indicators, however, you may choose to focus your commitment on a specific subset of the indicator, e.g. a specific material, a specific group of toxic air emissions, a particular waste component, a specific VOC, etc. All
Improvements to converting processes, quality improvements, yield improvements, material recovery efforts.
No
Yes
In the table below, please enter your facility's amount of non-hazardous waste, broken down by waste management method. Please enter both the amounts that you manage currently and that you intend to manage in 2009. "Waste" is defined as all materials that are sent off-site that are neither product nor product packaging.
