Today chrome plating is delivered by the application of
hexavalent chromium in a process which creates environmentally hazardous
by-products. The automobile industry and others are under increasing
pressure in the U.S.
from the EPA, OSHA and the EU to decrease or eliminate the use of hexavalent chromium.
Hexavalent chromium is a human carcinogen and is listed as a hazardous air
pollutant.
Onward's PVD process is 100% environmentally friendly, we use no hazardous material and produce no hazardous waste. We even go as far as to pull contaminates from the air upon entering our facility. Look we're not saying we are doing this solely for the environment... but it sure is a good feeling.
