The people of Industrial Netting recognize that the key to a sustainable business model and long-term enterprise success is the judicious use of resources. Environmental stewardship is an integral part of that commitment.
Waste Reduction and Energy Efficiency Initiatives
- We retrofit our factory and warehouse with energy efficient lighting to reduce energy consumption by 26%.
- We upgraded our software and refined our document control processes to reduce paper records through the use of more robust electronic record-keeping.
- We allocated capital resources to state of the art packaging equipment to minimize the weight and bulk of finished products.
- We recycle scrap polypropylene and polyethylene with a local reprocessor where material ground and pelletized for use in the manufacture of new polymer products.
Environmentally Friendly Products
- We offer reusable plastic mesh to the machine tool industry as an alternative to single-use cardboard dividers. Non-absorbent breathable mesh separators help minimize rust and corrosion by allowing air and fluids to flow freely.
- Our pest control netting provides a humane, environmentally friendly, passive deterrent to protect shrubs, gardens and decorative plants from foraging wildlife without inflicting trauma.
- Our Car-Go-Net® containment netting plays a vital role in the safe transportation of scrap metal and becomes part of the fuel at the mills that recycle those scrap materials into new metals. Using Car-Go-Net® containment netting in place of trailer side walls also reduces load weight and allows for greater hauling capacity to reduce fuel consumption.
- We help reduce the hazardous waste stream to landfills by producing components for industrial filter elements that can be incinerate at the end of their service life.
- The majority of our nets and rigid mesh tubes are made from polypropylene resin. Among fossil fuel-based resins, only polypropylene can be considered sustainable under a reference system created by non-profit environmental solutions provider Clean Production Action and sustainability consultant Pure Strategies.
