Graber products are Green
The Graber Pledge: As part of our Best Experience philosophy, we commit our people, processes and products to improving the environment and passing clear benefits along to our customers. Graber is building upon its strong history of social responsibility, while at the same time, working toward a greener future.
Our goal is to minimize the overall environmental impact of our company and products by using recycled, renewable and reduced content materials over virgin sources, reducing energy usage and waste, and improving air and water efficiency and indoor air quality. Our efforts go well beyond individual products and extend into our processes and the actions of our people.
Our Processes: Continuously examining and upgrading our eco-friendly manufacturing processes is a charge that Graber takes very seriously and the numbers truly speak for themselves:
- 43 million pounds of industrial waste generated in our Middleton facility have been recycled and diverted from landfills over the past 10 years.
- 90 million gallons of water are saved every year due to the installation of a closed-loop water cooling system for plastics manufacturing at Middleton.
- More than 4,500 tons of sawdust are recycled annually in a "waste to energy" program at our Grayling wood plant.
- More than 99 percent of our total sawdust is transformed into energy to fire the kilns and heat the factory - or are converted to wood stove pellets.
- A 71 percent reduction in airborne emissions has occurred in Middleton since 2000. Exhaust air scrubbers have been added at this facility to reduce VOCs by 52 percent.
- A minimum of 44 percent of post-consumer recycled material is included in the packaging of all Springs Window Fashions' products. Each package is carefully engineered and tested to minimize the use of materials without sacrificing the integrity of the product.
- 100 percent of packaging materials are able to be recycled (according to a recent study conducted by the University of Wisconsin at Madison).
Our Products: By design, all window coverings are inherently "green" because they block solar heat gain and reduce UV damage inside the home. However, products from Graber not only are manufactured in high recycling facilities, but offer specific benefits and return on investment to consumers in the form of healthier, more energy-efficient homes.
