Environmental Initiatives

The following measures have been implemented to conserve precious resources and decrease Haoxin Quarry's carbon footprint:

• bench marking of operational output and the use of electricity, fuel and explosives;

• determination of the basic needs for optimum production leading to the establishment of a standard of consumption rate per machine;

• ongoing monitoring of power factor corrector capacitors to ensure a decreasing trend in electricity usage;

• sequential start-up of electrical motors at each start-up procedure;

• a shift in production times to fall in non-peak consumption periods for electricity; and

• used oil to be sold to accredited companies for recycling purposes.
