Employees preventing pollution at 3MIn 1975 3M launched our Pollution Prevention Pays (3P) programme for our employees. It engages volunteer 3Mers across the company in areas such as R&D,manufacturing, logistics, transportation and packaging.

The 3P programme is based on the belief that a preventative approach to pollution is more environmentally effective, more socially acceptable and more economical than treatment. Started more than 40 years ago, the programme has prevented more than 2.36 million short tons of pollutants and saved over $2.1 billion USD based on aggregated data from the first year of each 3P project. Success has been achieved thanks to voluntary participation from 3Mers.

In the Nordic Region 3Mers have driven and successfully implemented eight 3P projects at our manufacturing sites in Sweden, engaging 40 employees in pollution prevention initiatives.

3M Aspiration: Respect our planet’s resources and reimagine waste as a nutrient

Zero Landfill in VärnamoSince 2016, our Värnamo site attained zero landfill status. The waste generated ensured material or energy recovery in the disposal process. To 3M zero landfill means no waste is sent directly to landfill from a 3M manufacturing site in a calendar year. By 2017, 27.9 percent of 3M sites had attained zero landfill status.

Gagnef team recognized for packaging reductionA 3P project to reduce the amount of packaging used for Speedglas welding helmets made at the Gagnef site in Sweden is saving 18 metric tons of end user waste per year.

As well as reducing tonnes of waste for end users by creating a new carton for the helmets incorporating less packaging material, the project has increased efficiency at the plant by reducing the amount of handling needed. The new packaging process is now not only quicker, but more ergonomic as the Speedglas box has an automatically folding bottom.

Said Gustav Ek, engineer in the Personal Safety Division: “Every small thing that we can do to protect the environment is a step towards a cleaner future. It was great to get this recognition for our new packaging box.” Added Daniel Söderdahl from the 3P team: “The project could not have been completed without a great team effort. I feel honoured.”

Invest to develop more sustainable materials and products to help our customers reach their environmental goals.

Logistics 3P team saves emissionsA project to optimise logistics between two distant sources of supply and the Gagnef site in Sweden resulted in total savings of 382 metric tons of CO2 equivalent emissions in the first year.

The objective of the project was two-fold: to optimise shipment costs and reduce the associated environmental footprint, particularly GHG emissions. The Gagnef site imports protection plates and filters to use in the manufacture of welding helmets and respirators from both Taiwan and Canada, by standard air freight. To reduce both the cost and emissions of this method of transportation, the project looked at alternatives, such as ocean freight.

This resulted in 63 percent of the weight of all shipments between Taiwan and Sweden in 2017 being moved from standard air freight to ocean freight, saving 251 metric tons of CO2 equivalent. For supplies from Canada in 2017 a total of 44 percent of goods moved across to ocean freight, saving 131 metric tons of CO2 equivalent that year.

Health and SafetyGlobal health and safety issues are prevalent in workplaces around the world. As a company that 3M is at the heart of a global effort to bring new science and innovation to workplace safety. At the same time, as an enterprise with 91,500 employees working around the world, we are always taking steps to advance the safety of our employees.

3M Aspiration: Improve the health and safety of people worldwideThe 3M Safety and Health Policy applies to 3M operations everywhere, including new acquisitions. Potential hazards at 3M workplaces must be understood and effectively managed to protect 3M employees, visitors, locations, and surrounding communities.

Honourable Environmental Health and Safety mention The Gagnef site in Sweden completed an innovative project to automate a workstation that was not ergonomic for operators. This earned the site an honourable mention in 3M’s global Environmental Health and Safety Achievement Awards. The project involved replacing a manual process, for mounting and soldering wires between welding filters and circuit boards during the production of filters for Auto Darkening Welding helmets, with an automated production line using robots. In addition, the project has made it possible to remove an epoxy adhesive from the process. This has been replaced with a 3M two-compound alternative that has an improved environmental profile.

As well as delivering ergonomic, environmental and safety benefits, the project has resulted in increased productivity and considerable cost savings for 3M.

Manufacturing Technology manager Patrik Moris, said: “This intricate connecting process used to be carried out by an operator working under a hood in a confined space which was not ideal and resulted in a very labour- intensive operation. The new automated process has resolved this ergonomic concern and our extensive tests have proved that the quality of the finished product is equivalent, if not higher, than before.”

EHS manager Lars Stam nominated the team for the award. He commented: “This was a complex project, involving a new layout in the factory, and the results have been outstanding, resulting in a number of benefits for 3M.”

Water Water is the most valuable natural resource for life and thriving ecosystems; therefore, our planet’s consumption must be nurtured and thoughtfully managed. We recognize that reducing water consumption in our operations and improving water quality are important elements of optimizing our environmental stewardship.

3M Aspiration: Promote clean water for everyone everywhere

Nordic Water UsageOn a Nordic level a majority of our water use originates from our office facilities. In our manufacturing sites we have no continuous use of water for processing products. However water is used for heating and/or cooling of our manufacturing processes. 2020 Nordic Goal: Reduce water use by 10%.

Progress towards our Nordic goal is reflected as a total of our Gagnef, Värnamo and Västervik sites with 2015 baseline.

As seen below our water usage increases. This was partly due to increased production but the majority of the increase originates from a repare of the cooling system in one of our manufacturing sites. During the repare if was necessary to to use tap water instead of recirculated water, resulting in an increased consumption of 5000m3 of water.

Summary 2020 Data 2015 2016 2017Water usage [m3] 11,340 12,062 17,301
