A Strong Focus on energy and environmental impact.
Over 70% of the content in Speedrack’s finished products comes from recycled materials. Not only does this help the environment, but it also yields higher quality components.
Company wide recycling efforts have reduced trash to landfills by over 75%. Significant energy saving programs have been implemented, including:
- Conversion to LED lighting.
- Motion sensors for all locations.
- Modification of manufacturing processes to reduce heat requirements in the powder coat paint process. We run our ovens at at a lower temperature than mandated by industry standards, thus reducing energy consumption while maintaining excellent paint quality.
- Installation of airflow equipment around heat generating processes to disperse heat in summer months and recapture it in the winter to reduce heating costs and gas consumption.
- Process chemicals that contain phosphates, a common part of metals manufacturing and painting, have been removed, eliminating phosphates and reducing energy consumption.
- All paint processes have been converted to a powder coat, eliminating waste from overspray and any related chemical discharge.
- Indoor air quality is tested regularly and meets or exceeds OSHA air quality limits.
- Speedrack does not generate any recordable emissions.
