Green Policy
Our commitment to the environment
Material
- Aluminum, steel and corrugated are our major material components.
- 25% of our Aluminum currently comes from recycled billet, and will increase as more becomes available.
- Steel recycled content currently averages 58%.
- Corrugated medium and liner board (boxes) currently average 70% recycled content.
Facilities
- Testrite is undergoing a company-wide conversion to energy-saving LED lighting, further reducing our carbon footprint.
Local Supply
- As a U.S. manufacturer, Testrite utilizes local suppliers reducing transportation impact.
- The carbon footprint of a Toyota Prius built in Asia is greater than a Chevrolet Surburban built in the U.S.
Design
- Many of our designs are telescopic, facilitating less packaging and transportation.
Process
- 88% of our scrap metals are recycled.
- 60% of our corrugated waste is converted into usable packaging.
- We routinely recycle returned, damaged or obsolete products and materials.
Quality
- Testrite products have always been known for extraordinary reliability and therefore have longer lives than our competitors' products.
- If our products last longer, the carbon footprint is less. Product life impacts the environment more than any other factor.
