Sustainability & Safety

AMACOR embraces environmental, health and safety objectives as core business values. We are committed to achieving EH&S excellence through continual improvement of our awareness, understanding and performance. Our goals include protection and promotion of the environment and the health and safety of our employees and the community in which we operate.

AMACOR has received awards from local, state and federal environmental and regulatory bodies for achievements in environmental protection and in regulatory air and water compliance.

AMACOR’s production process is considered “green” compared to other magnesium recycling operations as it yields almost zero emissions, operates with significant reductions of cover gases, and employs in-house recycling programs for waste, such as dross/sludge, cardboard, and wooden pallets.

*Carbon credits may be issued through Verified Carbon Standard Project 4904 for the greenhouse gas emission reductions or removals associated with AMACOR's use of an alternate cover gas in the magnesium recycling process, replacing sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) previously used.
