Environmental Sustainability {{searchText ? ' for "' : ''}}{{searchText}}{{searchText ? '"' : ''}}
Cepheid is committed to reducing the indirect and direct impact of our business operations and products on the environment.
This is demonstrated by:
- Investment in environmental programs that have significantly improved recycling diversion and reduced energy consumption.
- Fully compliant environmental regulatory compliance programs for all global locations.
- Minimization of hazardous waste and diversion to fuel-blending.
- Strict control of air and water emissions.
- Achieving multiple environmental excellence recognition awards.
Hazardous Waste Diversion
In 2016 Cepheid re-directed > 90% of the hazardous waste generated in the USA to be used as a secondary fuel source at fuel blending energy recovery operations to replace coal and natural gas. This is a safe and effective method of recovering the energy value of the waste and helps conserve our finite natural resources.
Environmental Goals
Cepheid has established several environmental goals:
- Maintain Certified Green Business status in Sunnyvale CA
- Maintain global facilities’ environmental regulatory compliance programs
- Recycle > 80% of all California non-hazardous waste materials
- Divert > 90% of all USA hazardous waste to fuel-blending energy recovery
Cepheid plans to pursue additional opportunities to further reduce hazardous waste, increase percentage of recycling diversion, and decrease energy consumption for all global operations.
