Development of Environmental Sustainability and Waste Reduction and Reuse Framework
The Tauber team was tasked with developing a strategy to address rising costs of industrial waste treatment and disposal at the Ithaca Transmission Components plant.
The goal of the project was to investigate alternative waste solutions that would be economically and strategically advantageous. These solutions reduce costs incurred from disposing of industrial wastes, anticipate regulatory changes around waste disposal, and extend BorgWarner’s philosophy of creating a “Clean Driving Experience” into its production operations.
By continuing to implement the developed strategy, the team estimates that BWMS Ithaca could realize a total annual cost savings of up to 43.5% for the identified industrial waste streams.
