We have had a no landfill policy since the company started. We are the only facility permitted by the MN Pollution Agency to recycle mercury on-site.

Our location was chosen because of its designation as a “greenfield” site, having no environmental impairments from prior use, in addition to its convenient access to the interstate. Staying true to our environmental protection efforts, our facility is an Energy Star Building, built to conform to the voluntary pollution prevention program standards that promote whole building energy-efficiency.
