Environmental Responsibility

Reduce

• We have reduced our greenhouse gas emissions by re-lamping our lighting in our plant.  This will help reduce lighting energy by as much as 50%.
• We are in the process of re-lamping all of our halogen lamps and incandescent lamps with low energy consumption fluorescents.

Re-Use

• We re-use packing material, chip board, cartons and plastic fillers.

Recycle

• We recycle over 100 tons of paper/card board products per year.
•         2011 - 100+ currently
          2010 - 128 tons
          2009 - 130 tons
          2008 - 149 tons
          2007 - 128 tons
          2006 - 129 tons

Responsibility

• All of our packing cartons are made of 48-50% recycled material.
  After the initial use, these cartons are 100% recyclable.
• Our Double Loop Wire can have as much as 90% recycled content.
• All of our Plastic Spiral is 100% recyclable.  It is made from the same plastic water bottle tanks are made from.  We can also buy Plastic filament made from 100% recycled material if needed.

FSC

• We abide by all FSC General Terms for Outsourcing.

Stormwater Management

• We have a stormwater management system in place on our site.  This lets the runoff percolate into the ground instead of directly entering the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
