Recycling
We take less from the earth by reducing the use of non–renewable resources, conserving renewable resources, and utilizing rapidly renewable resources and recycled materials.
These are some of the ways we achieved our objective in 2003:
- Computer–based optimizing programs increase yield of raw materials such as wood and textiles
- Use of Techwood man–made veneers reduces wood waste by
60%
- Rapidly renewable Agri–Board used in place of wood–derived materials in Currents system
- Combined recycling statistics for all facilities in 2000
- 110 tons of fabric scrap recycled
- 47.34 tons of aluminum recycled
- 4,178 tons of steel recycled
- 27,800 gallons waste oil recycled
