At Detroit Diesel Remanufacturing, environmental responsibility is more than simply satisfying the latest emissions requirements. It's a commitment to pursuing technology and processes that minimize our business' impact on the environment we share. Read our Environmental Policy here.
Remanufacturing as the ultimate in recycling
Remanufacturing is becoming recognized as the highest form of recycling, producing "like new" products while minimizing the impact on our environment.
- Reuses raw materials that would otherwise need to be mined from the earth.
- More energy efficient than melting old parts down to their raw materials and rebuilding them.
- Reduced generation of wastes, keeping old parts out of our landfills.
These benefits all lead to the conservation of natural resources and a reduced pollution output.
Environmental Certification
DDR has developed and implemented an ISO 14001 Certified Environmental Management System (EMS), which promotes exceeding compliance with federal, state, and local regulations.
The purpose of this certification:
- Minimizes the impact of an operation on the environment
- Improves compliance with environmental regulation
- Continually improves environmental performance
- Reduces environmental risks
We employ environmentally-friendly cleaning processes, such as the Thermal Cleaning Process, to even further reduce remanufacturing's impact on the earth.
The Thermal Cleaning Process:
- Converts organic material (like heavy grease, rubber seals, gasket materials, and paint) into ash and gas
- Works much like a self-cleaning oven that uses high heat to reduce baked on food to ash
- Uses less energy than other cleaning processes
- No need for hazardous chemicals or solvents
- Doesn't use water (unlike most other cleaning processes)
