We are the first manufacturer in
our industry to purchase energy ONLY from renewable sources to
power all our manufacturing processes. |
|
|
Our energy consumption is
constantly being monitored, with ways found to reduce it. This
saves both electricity and money, and those savings are always
enjoyed by our customers. Our offices and plant are never the
coolest in the summer, and they are never the warmest in the
winter. At Inland, business casual often manifests itself as
"shorts in the summer" and "sweaters in the winter". |
|
|
We comply with all applicable
environmental laws and regulations and operate our facility with
all necessary environmental permits, approvals, and operational
controls. As a result, we have reduced our waste stream to the
point we have been classified as the lowest possible level of
waste producer by the State of Michigan. |
|
|
We have converted nearly all our
lighting to fluorescent fixtures and bulbs. Because they contain
mercury, spent fluorescent bulbs are not sent to the landfill,
they are delivered to a proper collection facility.
|
|
|
We promote and maintain a vigorous
recycling program for all office paper, computers, and
electronics. Our German warehouse has contracted with a company
to recycle all our post-consumer grinders, saws, irons, and
other electronic equipment when they are beyond their useful
lives. |
|
|
Corrugated boxes from many of our
local suppliers are folded flat and returned for reuse.
|
|
|
Wood pallets are always reused for
shipments to our distributors. Those pallets not deemed worthy
of shipping are often used for in-house storage. |
|
|
All of our empty metal drums are
donated to Michigan Boy Scout councils for repurpose as trash
containers at their Summer Camps. |
|
|
We provide employees with readily
accessible containers for recycling plastics, cans, and other
consumables packaging. |
|
|
We train employees on our policy
and instill environmental responsibility as a corporate value. |
