Sheldon Manufacturing has announced a major commitment to its green priorities and to making its culture and production more sustainable
Dan Sheldon, owner of Sheldon Manufacturing, has made it a business priority to focus on reducing waste, using biodegradable and post consumer products for packaging, and eliminating bottled water around the office.
Recently, Sheldon Manufacturing launched a new green microsite to inform customers about efforts to minimise their footprint on the planet and also what their customers, and industry can do to limit their own footprints.
The website speaks to Sheldon's metal recycling, use of biodegradable packing, being a RoHS compliant company, not using solvent sprays, and offers tips and suggestions for others.
RoHS compliance means that Sheldon does not use restricted chemicals in their products, such as lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl, or polybrominated diphenyl.
Headquartered in a small town outside of Portland, Oregon, Sheldon Manufacturing has benefited from a close-knit community and they return the favour by being a good corporate citizen.
This means participating in service projects and supporting efforts with local clean water and habitat restoration efforts such as Solv and Clean Water Services.
Recently, the company helped plant saplings along the Tualatin River.
The trees will help to shade out the grass species that are over crowding the wetlands.
