Moffat is committed to environmental leadership, instilling the highest environmental values in all employees and subcontractors. Utilising the best environmental practices in all we do and by focusing on sustainable growth, we ensure the safe removal of waste and the prevention of pollution as an integral part of our environmental maintenance activities.

We are committed to drive down the environmental and health impact of waste
pollution to our organisation and its employees by:

• Conserving energy, water, paper, plastic, and other resources while still providing a safe and comfortable working environment.
• Reducing waste by recycling and using recycled products and materials where such alternatives are effectively suitable.

Our environmental maintenance performance is realised through the following measures:

• Developing and promoting relevant technological innovations within our equipment that helps reduce adverse environmental impacts
• Computers and other electrical appliances/equipment are switched off when not in use or at end of business day
• Scrapped equipment is sold to commercial metal recyclers
• Recycling of cardboard boxes which are used for the packaging of spares parts.
• Recycling of waste paper, with Visy waste bins strategically placed throughout the office area for the containment and disposal of waste paper
• Employing Visy Recycling for the collection of office waste paper
• Industrial waste paper and cardboard recycled through specific paper/cardboard
  collection by JJ Richards
• All used print toner cartridges and unrepairable mobile phones recycled through regular collection by the “Close The Loop” organisation
• Washdown from maintenance of demonstrator ovens or other soiled equipment, is contained within a tank and emptied/cleaned by an effluent removal contractor as required
• Spill kits are strategically place throughout our warehouse sites, to contain spills or
  leakage of hazardous substances
• Complying with all relevant legal and other regulatory environmental legislation

Moffat fully supports the intent of the Australian Packaging Covenant. Our policy of continual improvement will ensure for the future, product and packaging design and efficiencies in product distribution, encompass the aims and values of the Australian Packaging Covenant.
