Environmental Performance Waste Management and Recycling A by-product of the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity is the production of waste. Northeast Utilities is focused on reducing sources of pollution, reusing and recycling materials when practical, and purchasing products made from recycled content. If a waste cannot be eliminated from a process or recycled, it is disposed of in a way that minimizes impacts to the environment and human health. Hazardous Waste Management The following is the amount of hazardous waste NU has managed, as measured.
Note: Waste generation increased in 2005 due to an increase in operational activities, including NU's major transmission improvement projects and a manhole waste process change. |
