We are proud to produce less than 12% waste per month in the manufacturing of our acoustical and architectural products. This is a remarkable achievement in an industry where waste levels are often significantly higher.
In the architectural manufacturing field, companies typically generate around 20-30% waste per month. By maintaining waste levels below 12%, NOWN demonstrates a superior commitment to sustainability. Our efficient processes and dedication to reducing waste not only minimize our environmental impact but also set a new standard for the industry.
Importance of Low Waste Levels
- Environmental Impact: reduced waste means fewer resources are consumed and less landfill space is used, decreasing our ecological footprint.
- Resource Efficiency: efficient use of materials conserves natural resources, reducing the need for raw material extraction and the associated environmental degradation.
- Cost Savings: lower waste production translates into cost savings, which can be reinvested into further sustainability initiatives and innovation.
Our Sustainable Practices
- Optimized Manufacturing Processes: we use precise manufacturing techniques to minimize material waste.
- Recycling and Reuse: we recycle scrap materials and repurpose by-products to ensure little to nothing goes to waste.
- Employee Training: our team is trained in waste reduction practices, ensuring sustainability is prioritized at every stage of production.
NOWN’s achievement of producing less than 12% waste per month is a testament to our dedication to sustainability. By outperforming industry waste averages, we not only enhance our environmental stewardship but also lead by example in the architectural manufacturing sector. Join us in our commitment to a sustainable future.
