Environmental Responsibility

Limiting Our Environmental Impact

From sourcing lumber to manufacturing processes and shipping, we seek to implement policies and practices that protect the environment, conserve natural resources, and comply with laws and regulations designed to protect our planet. Examples of this include:

  • Utilizing company-wide environmental reporting systems that gather, track and report environmental information at our facilities
  • Augmenting energy-efficient technology in our manufacturing plants
  • Purchasing wood in optimum dimensions to attain the highest yield possible from every board
  • Using only Environmentally Preferable Product (EPP) particle board that includes a percentage of recycled material
  • Incinerating Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) from our finishing operations to reduce the level of pollutants released into the environment
  • Using sawdust to manufacture other products that contain recycled material, such as composite decking
  • Incorporating recycling efforts in every part of our company, from the factory floor to the corporate office, from fiber to foam, cleaning products to solvents, cardboard, paper, wood, sawdust and steel
  • Regularly conducting compliance audits at facilites globally
