Emc2, as a small business headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, strives to be a good environmental steward in all of its work. Energy efficient lighting is used in its offices; Emc2 recycles most food and beverage containers and uses reusable kitchenware and utensils where possible. Additionally, paper products are recycled. As most of Emc2 work is computational and can be saved electronically, Emc2 works with its clients to schedule as many deliverables to be sent electronically and to utilize electronic meeting opportunities such as Skype, WebEx, GoToMeeting, to minimize the travel related carbon footprint of the company. Emc2's spin off company, Natural Fiber Composite Corporation, has been created to design materials using materials from natural products to replace high energy extractive fiber materials such as glass, wollastonite, or organic fibers as reinforcements in the organic composite markets. Mr. Hattery, Senior Program Manager and Director of Operations for Emc2, serves as a member of the Ohio Bioproducts Innovation Center and Dr. Prabhat Krishnaswamy, VP of Emc2, sits on the Ohio Governor's Advisory Council on Bio-based products for plastics lumber. At its high Energy Mojave Test site, Emc2 uses the "leave no trace" philosophy of back country campers to maintain conditions. All materials brought to the site are removed from the site and appropriately disposed of, recycled, composted or reused, depending on specific materials. At its headquarters in Ohio, Emc2 has recently overseen the installation of more energy efficient heating and cooling systems for its buildings along with installing carpet from recycled fiber and an energy efficient water heating system. Used batteries with heavy metals are collected and properly disposed of as hazardous materials. Emc2's technical work is often concentrated on developing new technologies (particularly in weld simulation) to significantly reduce the energy input for their client specific products. Additionally, the staff have provided consultative services to companies dealing with alternative energy solution from Wind Power, to algae-to-oil, to biodiesel development. |
