JB Industries’ Commitment to Sustainability
At JB Industries, sustainability is embedded in every facet of our operations, guiding our longterm strategy, and influencing daily practices. We prioritize the environment while maintaining our core business values, continuously improving our processes to meet the highest global standards.
Going Beyond Compliance
We are not content with merely meeting environmental regulations. JB Industries has taken significant initiatives to go above and beyond:
- Implementing green and lean methods of production
- Minimizing our environmental impact
- Conserving natural resources
- Prioritizing energy efficiency
- Managing and recycling waste, especially water
- Reducing pollution in both atmospheric and environmental forms
Sustainable Business Growth
Our sustainability strategy revolves around three core principles: Planet, People, and Prosperity, driving our sustainable business expansion.
Some of the key steps we’ve already taken include:
- Natural Gas for Power Generation: Utilizing natural gas, the lowest emission fossil fuel.
- Energy-Efficient Gas Engines: Reducing natural gas consumption and GHG emissions by
40% with our energy-efficient systems.
- Bio-Mass Boilers: Generating steam through bio-mass boilers to cut down on nonrenewable energy consumption
Harnessing Waste Heat
Our Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) Boilers produce 20% of our total steam generation, significantly reducing GHG emissions. These efforts reflect our dedication to sustainable energy solutions and efficient resource management.
Waste and Resource Management
We have taken several key steps to manage waste effectively:
- Paper Usage Reduction: We’ve significantly cut down on paper usage throughout the
organization.
- Efficient Space Use: Constructing mezzanine floors to minimize land use.
- Eco-Friendly Solid Waste Management: Managing solid waste like paper and food in an
environmentally responsible manner.
Effluent Treatment and Waste-water Recycling
We take pride in our state-of-the-art Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Effluent Treatment Plants (ETP), which operate 24/7 to ensure that our wastewater is treated to a level that meets local regulations and ZDHC foundational limits. With a treatment capacity of 47m³/hour, our ETP helps us closely monitor and manage effluent discharge, ensuring it stays within safe limits as measured by our on-site QC laboratory.
In our commitment to water sustainability, we are advancing our recycling efforts with our Reverse Osmosis (R/O) Plant. This system is designed to recycle a significant portion of our treated water. By 2024, we aim to recycle 60% of our wastewater, significantly reducing our overall environmental impact.
Reducing Our Carbon Footprint
As part of our ongoing efforts to reduce our carbon footprint, we have completely switched to energy-efficient LED lights across all our factories and offices. This transition has led to a 70% reduction in electricity consumption, substantially cutting down our carbon emissions.
Additionally, we are constantly exploring new technologies to further lower our energy usage and reduce pollution to the absolute minimum.
Transition to Renewable Energy
We have taken a bold step towards renewable energy by implementing 3.2 Megawatts of solar panels across our facilities. This strategic investment allows JB Industries to operate fully on renewable energy, eliminating our reliance on traditional energy sources and dramatically reducing our carbon footprint. This move not only aligns with our environmental goals but also solidifies our position as a leader in sustainable business practices within the industry.
Long Term Sustainability Goals
At JB Industries, sustainability is not just a target—it’s an ongoing journey. From water conservation and energy efficiency to reducing pollution, our efforts are continually evolving. We remain committed to pioneering new ways to protect our planet while providing the highest quality products to our customers.
