Leading edge manufacturing through sustainable innovation
As industries around the world undergo metamorphosis, manufacturers are arriving at a more sustainable means of operation, while achieving a fusion of performance and eco-vision. At WGS Global Services, sustainability is more than a corporate initiative — it’s part of our mission.
From metal finishing to logistics, we bring an integrated approach to sustainable manufacturing that minimizes waste, conserves resources, and drives social value for our customers and communities.
Sustainable Metal Finishing Techniques
Conventional metal finishing processes may use large amounts of water and toxic chemicals that can harm the environment. That’s why environmentally friendly finishing techniques are our top priority at WGS Global Services, such as:
- Leverage advanced closed-loop water recycling systems to treat and reuse greywater and wastewater, thereby minimizing freshwater consumption.
- Low-VOC (volatile organic compound) coatings that reduce air pollution
- Filtration and waste recovery technology to mitigate chemical discharge
These advancements help with sustainability objectives, as well, which have proven to reduce operational costs over time. Cleaner processes also mean fewer hazards, safer working practices, and better results for manufacturers as well as for end-users.
Efficient Logistics & Packaging Practices
Sustainability is more than what happens on the production floor. WGS uses smart warehousing and packaging strategies that minimize waste and maximize efficiency. Our Just-In-Time (JIT) delivery model minimizes the need for large quantities of inventory storage, which helps lower energy consumption and packaging material waste.
We also partner with our clients to develop bespoke, recyclable packaging solutions that provide protection while helping to reduce their impact on the planet. So, each stage of the supply chain has been optimized for performance and sustainability.
Remanufacturing and Life Cycle Extension
Re-manufacturing and re-engineering are also important components of our approach. Instead of throwing away old or excess parts, we enable clients to prolong the life of their products by rehabilitation, bringing components back to like-new condition.
This practice reduces material use, lowers carbon emissions, and helps promote a circular manufacturing approach. It’s a savvy, visionary way to square profit with environmental purpose.
Employment Is Essential For Social Impact
Our definition of sustainability at WGS Global Services is people. As a dedicated second chance employer, we offer opportunity through meaningful careers to those returning to the workforce after incarceration or other hardship. This wall-to-wall inclusive hiring model transforms lives and at the same time, builds a loyal trained talented workforce that powers sustained corporate performance.
Investing in people and the planet allows us to build for a better future for manufacturing — and to set an example for other companies to follow.
The future of manufacturing is smart and responsible. WGS Global Services is ensuring customers remain competitive while doing the right thing for both the planet and people, through its all-encompassing approach to sustainable manufacturing.
