ADVANCED CIRCUITS RECEIVES 3rd GOLD AWARD FROM METRO WASTEWATER RECLAMATION DISTRICT
AURORA, Colo., - (May 25, 2006) - Advanced Circuits, the country’s leading source for quick-turn printed circuit boards, announced today it was awarded a Gold Award from the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District (MWRD) of Colorado for the third time.
The Gold Award signifies 100 percent compliance with pretreatment requirements and a demonstrated commitment to environmental excellence. Advanced Circuits, and the 14 other winners, are distinguishing themselves as environmentally cautious, going above and beyond regulatory requirements. By doing so, they demand less of the Metro District’s Pretreatment Program and set a good example for others.
Advanced Circuits is being recognized for its continual efforts to minimize pollution and waste through the transportation of spent materials to off-site locations for recycling. Additionally, Advanced Circuits drums up spent copper etchant solution, collects excess copper panel frames and waste pieces for off-site reclamation. The company also installed a new pumice scrubber system to reduce the amount of corrosive chemistry used to prep circuit boards for subsequent chemical processing steps and a new etcher, which will reduce ammonia emissions.
“Printed circuit manufacturers are historically seen as damaging to our environment,” said John Yacoub, Advanced Circuits President and CEO. “One of our main goals at Advanced Circuits is to minimize our negative effects on the environment and allow customers to be confident they are working with an environmentally conscious manufacturing partner.”
The Metro Wastewater Reclamation District is the wastewater treatment authority for most of metro Denver. The Metro District serves about 1.5 million people in a 380-square mile service area that includes Denver, Arvada, Aurora, Lakewood, Thornton, Westminster, and more than 45 sanitation and water and sanitation districts. The Metro District treats about 130 million gallons of wastewater a day and discharges the treated water into the South Platte River where it makes up nearly 90 percent of the River for nine months of the year.
“We are happy to receive recognition for our environmental efforts,” said Yacoub. “Advanced Circuits will continue to find ways to reduce our impact on the environment while still providing the quality circuit boards our customers are accustomed to.”
