Social Impact

Dixie Chemical’s facility in Pasadena, Texas has just been certified as a “Wildlife at Work” site by the Wildlife Habitat Council. 

Dixie employees and the site’s contractors cleared and graded two acres of land that had been overrun by an invasive tree species called Chinese Tallow. The land was then planted with a variety of native grasses and wildflowers. This project showcases just one way Dixie is committed to sustainable chemistry and the environment. Due to the facility’s close proximity to Armand Bayou Nature Center, the Dixie site can help improve local biodiversity by extending the area that is habitable for migratory birds, pollinators, and small animals.
