Some of Fort Wayne Metals manufacturing processes require the use of oil products. Fort Wayne Metals uses a two-step process to extend the life of oil products. First, when possible, oils are filtered to prolong effective use. When oil products reach the end of effective life in our facilities Fort Wayne Metals works with responsible waste management firms to send oil products for re-refining thus turning our used fluids into new products. This process of reuse and recovery minimizes the volume of potentially hazardous waste generated and preserves virgin resources.
Since 2008 Fort Wayne Metals employees have been diverting recyclable materials from the landfill through our tri-level recycling program. Collection containers available at the department level allow employees to separate recyclables at the source. These are then combined at the facility level then transported to the in-house Recycling Center for management at the company level. By working with local waste management agencies Fort Wayne Metals is able to recycle a wide range of materials and continues to look for alternative recycling solutions for waste which cannot be prevented, reduced, or reused.
