Environmental
protection
is a priority for the conservation of precious natural resources and
the continued health of planet earth. USA Fluid Brand Co.
recognizes its responsibility in the global environment for
conservative design and is continually striving to reduce the
environmental impact of the work we do and with the products we
create.
USA
Fluid and the Global Environment:
USA Fluid
takes pride in its development history of innovation and thoughtful
design. Environmental Conservation and technological leadership goes
beyond just what's inside the bottle.
USA Fluid is designed to be SAFE Across the board in a
Three step procedure:
1)
Safe and non destructive on machinery and components its applied onto
2) Safe for the people applying it; and
3) Safe to the world we're living on: From the sod below to the sky
above. How we impact the environment is important to us, and
environmental consideration is an integral part of USA Fluid Brand's
business practices. From Laboratory stages of product design through
manufacturing, use, and recycling, we take care to insure all of our
activities and our products are totally environmentally friendly, safe
and sound.
Primary areas of
specific and particular attention are product, packaging and shipping
container design, responsible manufacturing, energy efficiency, and
recycling. All aspects of the design cycle provide innovative
challenges, and our efforts have resulted in some impressive results.
Product
design: It
all
begins here. Eliminating the environmental impact of USA Fluid
Brand products starts with the product design phase. Design of highly
refined industrial grade raw materials which are safe and/or even food
grade, recylability of containers, energy consumption required for
manufacturing and the elimination of energy consumption and
unnecessary steps in use, and the ease of usage.
USA Fluid Brand
continually refines its product design to maximize efficiency while
minimizing waste. The dispenser and internal structure of the delivery
components is highly optimized to allow delivery of the material at
merely a drop at a time. If more is required, a straight stream
containing droplets in thousands of small clusters is dispensed in the
form of a straight parabolical stream which can reach up to several
feet, directly into the areas of need. This results in a
massive saving of pollution and unnecessary release of effluent
compounds into the atmosphere. Other products have a cheap
hair spray nozzle which produces only a full blast wide mist which
loses the material into the atmosphere around the area where it is
needed as particulate, chemical and air pollution. These inferior hair
spray misting nozzles are responsible for the releasing of millions of
metric tons of material waste into the atmosphere all over the globe
annually. USA Fluid Brand Products strictly forbids such usage
of these inferior and wasteful cheap hair spray type of misting
nozzles from their products. Our drop by drop - streaming pump
dispenser concept is by far more intricate, but it's a small price to
pay when it eliminates pollution and prevents the undue waste of this
high quality product, making it pay for itself many times over.
USA Fluid innovationists had this nozzle concept developed and put
into use over 20 years ago, and it is now also taken and used by other
products and companies who agree with the idea of elliminating waste..
Responsible
Manufacturing: USA
Fluid Brand has NO use of polyvinyl chloride
(PVC) and brominated non flammables within its products. USA
Fluid Brand helps to safeguard the environment - as well as consumers'
safety - by restricting the use of environmentally harmful compounds
in our materials and manufacturing processes. For example, our
restricted substances criteria limits the use of any heavy metals,
toxic compounds and ozone depleting substances in our products and
manufacturing processes.
Energy
efficiency: The
greatest
lack environmental impact in creating a product is in its longevity
over time. USA Fluid Brand has made great strides in recent
years to optimize the energy efficiency of our raw material chemicals
and Lab to Factory production lines.
Recycling:
USA
Fluid Brand's holistic approach to recycling - encompassing a
product's entire life cycle - includes recycling return programs that
enable consumers and businesses to dispose of used the USA Fluid 100%
Recyclable containers via recycling in an environmentally sound
manner.
History
of sound practice: Year
after
year, USA Fluid Brand has set and met important goals to phase
out environmentally relevant substances, create recycling programs and
improve efficiency. Here are some of the most important milestones in
our quest for environmental responsibility:
Innovative
and efficient: USA
Fluid Brand strongly believes that reducing the environmental impact
of our business starts with the design of our products. We set high
standards - based on our own requirements and those set by other
programs such as:
Responsible
Manufacturing: USA
Fluid Brand recognizes the need for environmentally responsible
production, including the use of recyclable materials and the
restriction of chemical compounds or materials that can harm the
environment. USA Fluid Brand's record of restricting harmful
substances goes back over two decades.
USA Fluid Brand
has long been an advocate of product stewardship, and we believe that
this concept extends to re-using containers and proper disposal of no
longer used containers.
A
holistic view: USA Fluid Brand takes a holistic view
of recycling and waste minimization. We apply this philosophy from the
outset, beginning in the design stage by creating compact,
ultra-efficient products that use high-recycling-value materials
wherever possible.
USA Fluid Brand
strives to minimize the amount of waste generated at our company sites
and operations. When waste paper, glass, metals, and plastics do arise
from onsite activities, we ensure the materials are recycled properly.
Some examples include:
Cardboard
RE-USAGE: USA Fluid Brand
ELIMINATES a huge energy consumption cycle and drain by
incorporating a unique reusage
program for cardboard containers that would normally be disposed
or recycled. We take
boxes out of the disposal path which are made of heavy coated
cardboard used by restaurants and from frozen foods, and turn them
into shipping boxes. Our shipping department has packaging
artists that re-cut and retrofit the boxes into containers for USA
Fluid bulk product. THIS
procedure
saves the energy used and cost of recycling the material,
eliminates the energy and cost of collecting, transporting, and
remanufacturing the material; and also eliminates the energy and
expenses of transporting and distributing remanufactured cardboard
boxes, And most of all, it saves the $$$ MONEY Expense of
purchasing boxes. There is a slight increase in the time
and labor of implementing these boxes, but that's menial expense
compared to the rest the costs which are saved. Our packaging
criteria call for tightly sealed boxes on all sides with strongly
reinforced interiors. We package to a standard that is
5-10 times higher that those specified by shipping
companies; thereby eliminating any waste footprint, cost footprint,
time and replacement expense caused by product damage in and the
filing of claims and paperwork.
Paper:
This recycling path encompasses all cardboard packaging, as well as
paper from manuals and other printed materials. These materials are
sent to processing mills, where they undergo a hydro-pulping process
to produce new paper-based products such as cardboard boxes and
tissues.
Foam:
Protective foam is re-manufactured into new foam products as well as a
variety of other materials, such as carpet padding and substitute wood
products (e.g., crown molding or baseboard).
Metal,
Etc: Cans are recycled with tin cans in the usual manner.
Plastic tops can recycle with other plastic containers and covers.
Cardboard boxes can recycle with compacted cardboard in industry, or
be used for clean burning kindling material by users and individuals
who heat buildings and hot water with high efficiency wood fired
boilers.
Plastic: Plastic recycles into
collection bins where household and industrial liquid containers are
deposited and returned into the supply chain.
