Environmental Stewardship: Efficiency and Conservation

Minimizing our operational footprint through energy, water, and waste management.

Operational Efficiency and Conservation

Our commitment to the environment extends deep into our mill operations. We continuously invest in technologies and processes that reduce our consumption of natural resources and minimize emissions. This focus on efficiency is both environmentally responsible and economically sound.

Energy Management

A significant portion of our energy strategy involves utilizing our own wood byproducts. Our kilns are often powered by **biomass fuel** derived from bark and sawdust, creating a closed-loop energy system that dramatically reduces our reliance on external fossil fuels. Furthermore, we employ high-efficiency motors and lighting throughout the facility to conserve power.

Water and Air Quality

We operate under strict permits and employ advanced systems to ensure that our water usage is minimized and that any discharge meets or exceeds regulatory standards. Dust collection systems are state-of-the-art, ensuring clean air both inside the mill and in the surrounding community.

Waste Reduction and Recycling

Zero-Waste Goal

Our goal is to utilize 100% of the log. All residual material is converted into valuable products like wood chips, sawdust, or biomass fuel.

Recycling Programs

We maintain comprehensive recycling programs for all non-wood waste, including metals, plastics, and oils used in our machinery.

Sustainable Packaging

We are actively transitioning to more sustainable and recyclable materials for our product packaging and wrapping.

Committed to a Greener Future

Our environmental performance is a key measure of our success.
