As part of our core Mission, we will work to help preserve the natural resources of our planet for current and future generations. Our specific Environmental Mission is to promote human health and safety, protect our environment and to conserve our natural resources.

Our Environmental Goals:

• Meet or exceed the requirements of all environmental laws and regulations applicable to our operations
• Limit our negative impact on the environment and work to reduce recognized environmental risks to our employees and our community
• Strive to employ safe, environmentally friendly technologies and operating procedures
• Continually monitor and improve our performance in the above areas

Our Environmental Strategy:

• Implementation of a recycling program, while also striving to reduce the use of non-recyclable packaging materials
• Colecraft will continue to expand its reuse of materials such as wood pallets and crates whenever possible
• We will continue to work to find alternative methods to safely ship products to our customers and receive materials from our vendors including the utilization of reusable skids and crates, shrink-wrapping and blanket wrapping
• Continue to pursue and expand the use of highly efficient transportation methods including the smallest and most efficient delivery vehicles available
• Cooperation with outside shipping companies to assure the maximum efficiency of transportation routes
• We will also develop methods to increase space utilization including consolidating orders by customers and destinations   Optimizing the use of shrink-wrapping, palletizing, and blanket wrapping of our product, will result in space-consuming and non-reusable packaging being reduced.
• Colecraft will also pursue continuous improvement in the areas of product durability and performance
• Colecraft will develop specific strategies to promote resource conservation and environmentally sensitive waste management
