It is based on regulatory compliance for all permit limits when the <span class=\"xn-location\">City of Dallas<\/span> performs its testing on wastewater discharge quality. To achieve this discharge quality, Aloe Vera of America treats its facility&#8217;s production water discharge \u2014 eliminating any possible pollutants through chemical processes \u2014 before it is sent back out to the <span class=\"xn-location\">City of Dallas<\/span> wastewater system.<\/p>\n<p>Aloe Vera of America&#8217;s facility has three wastewater sampling points from which samples are taken, unannounced, twice per month. During the sampling, the <span class=\"xn-location\">City of Dallas<\/span> tests for pollutants including oil, grease, heavy metals and surfactants as well as PH level, temperature, chemical oxygen demand, and biochemical oxygen demand. To qualify for the Blue Thumb Award, Aloe Vera of America had to achieve 24 perfect water sampling results during one calendar year and pass two yearly inspections with perfect scores. To date, Aloe Vera of America has achieved 192 consecutive perfect wastewater sampling results and 16 perfect inspections.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our main goal is to ensure that all Forever businesses comply with all federal, state and city environmental and occupational safety regulations, standards, and mandates,&#8221; says <span class=\"xn-person\">Rafael Hernandez<\/span>, Forever Living&#8217;s Corporate Director of Environmental &amp; Occupational Safety and Health.<\/p>\n<p>As part of this commitment, in&nbsp;June 2022, Aloe Vera of America passed the required audits to achieve the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) water efficiency management system and energy efficiency management system certifications. These new certifications will add to the company&#8217;s other ISO certifications of quality, environmental, occupational safety, and laboratory competence.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A key element of the ISO certifications and the Blue Thumb Award is the continuous improvement,&#8221; Hernandez says. &#8220;Just because we achieved these does not mean our work is done; on the contrary, achieving it is just the beginning. We will continue to improve our procedures and implement new initiatives and technology to ensure our corporate commitment with the environment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> <b>ABOUT ALOE VERA OF AMERICA<\/b>&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>Part of Forever Living Products International, Aloe Vera of America manufactures and distributes Forever Living products to over 160 countries.
