Unilever's Mercury Waste
In 1983, Chase brought Ponds Ltd, one of U.S.
company bought an area near Kodak canal. They
relocated their thermometer-making factory that
had been in Watertown, suburb of New York to
this area. In 1987, Unilever bought Ponds and the
thermometer-making factory in Kodak canal and
became the biggest facility in the world. Then,
Hindustan Lever Limited (HLL), the subsidiary of
Unilever which operates and located in India, took
charge of the factory.
In March 2001, four hundred people from Factory
workers' unions and local communities protested and
complained about the unsafe waste disposal methods
from Hindustan Lever Limited factory. They gave an
ultimatum of either closing the factory or remove it
from Kodak canal areas. They also said since the
mercury disposal happen in this area, it was destroying
the Shola ecosystem of Western Ghats. After that
incident, Unilever decided to postpone their
thermometer production in Hindustan Lever Limited
factory near Kodak canal until they find a solution to
the problem. However on June 21 2001, the Government
of India ordered HLL to close the factory and ship the
rest of the mercury waste to the U.S.
