cited in Proposition 65,” said
The Czech crystal maker takes the following measures to ensure its environmental stewardship:
§ Changes chemical compositions regularly when producing Moser crystal to eliminate the potential for air pollution,
§ Employs low melting temperatures to reduce the volatilization of materials, thereby preventing the release of hazardous materials into the air,
§ Ensures precipitators are installed in all chimneys to help prevent air pollution by removing solids from production smoke and vapors,
§ Monitors waste disposal drains closely to prevent pollution of water sources,
§ Adopts new burner systems, which eliminate carbon dioxide discharge,
§ Uses ventilators to recover and recycle heat energy from the melting process for reuse, a measure that reduces air pollution, and
§ Recycles broken crystal in the melting process for reuse.
