Composite Manhole Covers and Beyond, EJ and the Environment

Composite manhole covers by EJ are created with utmost environmental and social consideration. Making the least possible impact on the environment while maintaining product quality and staff safety is one of the core values that EJ has adapted in all facets of the company's operation.

Composite Manhole Covers: An Exceptional Solution for Challenging Environments

Ancient Egyptians found a way to compensate for the lack of wood and stronger materials by combining straw and mud to strengthen brick construction. Today's modern infrastructure industry involves extensive design and engineering of composite materials that meet specific demands and critical needs of consumers.

EJ composite manhole covers offer a wide variety of advantages, from theft-deterrence, to their lightweight yet durable composition, resistance to corrosion, and being a cost-effective utility access and cover solution.

Composite Manhole Covers and Environmental Effects

1. EJ composite manhole covers are light in weight, which accounts for less transport cost, faster handling, and installation.

2. Virtually zero maintenance factor, resulting in less disruption to the surrounding environment.

3. Composite manhole covers are resistant to corrosion, hence, eliminating corrosion treatments.

Environmental responsibility is one issue that local and private sectors should continuously pay close attention to. This commitment entails producing composite manhole covers and other products with minimal wastage, utilizing recycled materials and complying with local and state laws, and following standards for ethical business practices.

EJ and the Environment

EJ commits to a continuous environmental improvement. Following one of their core values, EJ understands and supports Green Living. This is a critical guiding principle that is exemplified in the way EJ handle their global business.

EJ is hands-on in the following measures:

Instilling environmental responsibility among their employees through education and seminars.
Cooperate and forge a local productive partnership in communities where EJ operates.
Using state of the art technologies to record and reduce carbon footprint.
Continuous research on how to efficiently minimise internal waste streams.
Designing innovative castings, gratings, and composite manhole covers using fewer materials without compromising the structural integrity and load-bearing capacity.
Impose proper waste collection and segregation.

EJ and the MACT Standards

All EJ foundries are compliant with Environmental Protections Agency's new air quality Maximum Achievable Control Technology Standard (MACT). The MACT requires stack testing, recording, and reporting air pollution control systems.

EJ Reuse, Reduce, Recycle

EJ ensures that over 90% of green sand found in their foundries are reclaimed and reused in their moulding process.

Reducing wastage is one way to minimise environmental impact. EJ technology captures lost heated air and re-use it for the melting process. This method helps in saving energy consumption. Aside from using post-consumer and post-industrial scrap metals, EJ utilises old tires to make one of their innovative product, the EJ INFRA-RISER® multi-purpose rubber composite adjustment ring. EJ makes sure to use by-products from their melting process whenever possible.

EJ and the Future

With centuries-old craftsmanship and knowledge, latest technology, and cutting-edge facilities, EJ is casting their name in today's infrastructure industry and for the years to come.
