Reducing Our Environmental Footprint

South Carolina is the latest Boeing site to achieve zero waste to landfill. Working with a local recycling vendor, Boeing environmental engineer Hope Gonzalez is one of the site's zero waste to landfill and recycling leaders.
Boeing believes that climate change is a serious environmental challenge that requires credible action. Recognizing this, we are committed to reducing emissions of greenhouse gases from our facilities and products.
We are looking at all aspects of the business including building cleaner factories, improving operational efficiencies, and reducing waste and hazardous chemical use to reduce our environmental footprint and improve productivity. Currently, four major Boeing sites, including the new South Carolina 787 Dreamliner production facility, send zero nonhazardous operational waste to landfills.
