LED Statement

As a consumer of earth’s resources we consider it our responsibility to reduce the environmental impact of our manufacturing process and materials used in our products. Our design options and manufacturing processes combine several processes friendly to the environment.

Materials

The bulk of our products are made from steel that is the most widely recycled material in the world.
All steel off fall is collected for recycling.

Processes

• The powder paint process results in a significant reduction of hazardous waste through the elimination of solvents.

• This process eliminates the harmful discharge of VOC’s during processing.

Packaging

• Bulk packaging that significantly reduces the amount of cardboard packaging is encouraged whenever possible.

• Packaging practices have been modified to reduce the amount of cardboard and save valuable resources.

• All corrugated cardboard used to package purchased materials and supplies is collected and compacted for recycling.

• Local suppliers use returnable containers.

Office Waste

• All appropriate paper is recycled.

• Large empty printer/photocopier cartridges are returned to the supplier for re fill.

Energy Conservation

Our flexible manufacturing schedules and reduction of inventories have resulted in a reduction of energy consumption.

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)

Even though LEED does not certify products, Silver Rack products meet the requirements for LEED Section MR Credit 4.1 (Recycled Content), MR Credit 4.2 (Recycled Content), and in some cases MR Credit 5.1 and MR Credit 5.2 depending on location, all of which contribute to LEED Points and Credits.
