Axalta Reinforces Its Environmental Commitment in Mexico
MICHOACAN, Mexico — Coatings manufacturer Axalta, in partnership with Ducks Unlimited de Mexico (DUMAC) and the government of Michoacan, Mexico, formally inaugurated two wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) in key communities in Michoacán. The plants will counteract the problems of water pollution in Lake Cuitzeo, the second largest body of water in Mexico.
This joint project is part of Axalta and DUMAC's partnership conservation program, which achieved in 2017-2018 the installation of 145 eco-technologies such as ecological dry toilets, solar heaters and biodigesters in Sayula, Jalisco; Pénjamo, Guanajuato; and Cuitzeo, Michoacán. The project benefits the residents of the rural communities and contributed to the reduction of soil and water contamination for the conservation of natural resources on which people and wildlife depend.
