Clean Utah

Ongoing Projects

Autoliv: Participate in the Blue Sky Power program to lessen the carbon footprint of the OTC facility.
Firestone Building Products: Reduce the amount of dust generated per unit of production by implementing process improvements.
La-Z-Boy: Reduce air emissions by replacing the steam absorption chiller with a state-of-the-art electric chiller.
Utah Transit Authority: Reduce air pollution from vehicle emissions by expanding the vanpool program.
Utah Transit Authority: Reduce NOx emissions by scheduling the more efficient buses on the longer routes.

Autoliv: Reduce the amount of waste going to the landfill by recycling cushion fabrics.
Circle Four Farms: Investigate and trial a recycling system that would allow the recycling pumps off at night during the winter without freezing the lines.
Hexcel: Increase plant-wide recycling to six million pounds annually.
La-Z-Boy: Reduce the amount of waste going to the land fill through recycling. While La-Z-Boy had a recycling program for years, the employee EMS team felt there were additional items which could be recycled.

Firestone Building Products: Reduce use of hazardous chemicals in production process through technology changes, employee training, and optimization of formula.

Firestone Building Products: Reduce amount of dust bricks disposed of at the landfill by reducing the amount of dust generated per unit of production and by finding an alternative use for the bricks.

Autoliv: Replace metal halide lights in the warehouse section of the facility with energy-saving fluorescent lighting.
Circle Four Farms: Lease unused property for a windmill development. The proposed 50-70 windmills would generate 150 megawatts of power.
La-Z-Boy: Enhance facility’s energy efficiency and, subsequently, reduce air emissions.
Utah Transit Authority: Decrease energy usage by installing digital energy monitors, improving lighting systems, conducting energy audits, and targeting a five percent reduction in electrical usage along North-South TRAX Park and Ride lots.

Autoliv: Remove a section of lawn and plant native trees, shrubs, and flowers that are low (xeri) water use. This will reduce the quantity of water used and employees will get ideas for how to use low water plants and landscaping in their own home landscaping.
