Environmental Policy
At Heywoods Shepparton Motor Panel we care about the environmental impact we create.
In the past, vehicle repair shops have been one of the highest polluters in the industry. We have taken responsibility for our impact on the environment by implementing practices in our shop to reduce this as much as we can.
Our mission is to minimise the operational impact of our business, particularly with regard to waste disposal, solvent emissions and the use of recycled products.
This includes:
Using a PPG waterborne vehicle paint system which creates less odour and reduces waste handling costs
Our indoor vehicle wash bay is equipped an oil/water separator system
Using multiple compressed air systems
Paying to have our cardboard, metal, aluminium, plastic and used oil products removed and recycled to prevent pollution and minimization of waste.
We have also installed a solar power system, to further our commitment to cleaner energy.
Our efforts in environmental management are directly linked to our commitment to the safety of our staff and customers. Many of the traditional paints and materials have proved harmful in the past. By switching to cleaner materials we are ensuring the health of our team, our environment and the community.
