Some industries are able to turn half their gross pollution load to
profit before having to pay for the hard task of cleanup, and many of them
are in North America.
Hylsa, the steel company in Mexico, is using the sponge iron process
to implement direct reduction technology and prevent the massive pollu-
tion of coke ovens, which cost U.S. Steel over $600 million to clean up re-
cently at its Clairton works.
Shell Oil in Canada has been disposing of its refinery sludge by
ploughing it into the prairie and increasing barley yields from 18% to 31%.
In the United States, the paper companies have begun to look at their
industrial wastes as ways of making money.
As a by-product of processing at its Bellingham, Washington, plant,
Georgia Pacific is producing 190-proof alcohol "so pure and potent" that
the Treasury Department has stationed men in the plant full-time to make
sure that none of it is converted to drinking liquor before its sale to indus-
trial users.
Organizing for profit.
How can companies best exploit their own pollution prevention op-
portunities: The key to 3M's success has been giving corporate-wide recog-
nition to the importance of technological innovation in making the company
efficient and profitable, delegating responsibility and initiative to the shop
floor and rewarding all company personnel who get involved in 3P programs.
Each 3M factory has its own plant energy and environment commit-
tee comprising the plant engineer as chairman, the maintenance supervisor,
the control engineer, the manufacturing supervisor, the division engineer,
and an industrial engineer. Their job is to set targets for waste avoidance,
establish programs with shop floor personnel, report progress to manage-
ment, audit savings, and report to the central committee.
