Green Removal and Installation
Being eco-friendly means more than recycling old materials. It means looking for new ways to reclaim materials and creating a culture that stresses efficiency. By recycling almost every part of the sign - aluminum backplates, extruded sides, returns, retainers, standoffs, plastic faces, transformers, ballasts, wiring and glass, plus ensuring proper disposal of gases, we can reduce waste in landfills and keep future manufacturing costs lower.
Leading the Way
- By replacing neon sign lighting with LEDs, users
can see energy savings of 75% to 90%, with less maintenance and
longer life, all while eliminating mercury content
- Replacing neon with fluorescent lamps can save 23% to 50% more energy
- Replacing T-12 fluorescent lamps with T-8 or T-5 fluorescent lamps saves 12% to 27% more energy
- Replacing fluorescent lamps with LEDs can save to 12% to 38%
Green Service and Repair
By stressing extensive planning, we can ensure the fewest trips to the site. This means making sure our vehicles are the appropriate size and have all the necessary equipment to service the sign. When repairs are needed, all necessary measurements, photos and templates are made.
A Green Corporation
Manufacturing and installing earth-friendly signage is only part of the solution. We are also looking for new ways to expand green efforts to our corporate culture by:
- Using energy-efficient lighting and HVAC equipment in the workplace
- Installing Energy Star appliances
- Reducing paper waste with digital technology
- Providing incentives for carpooling, recycling packaging
- Recognizing and rewarding eco-friendly initiatives and supporting community and national organizations
These efforts make us better citizens in our communities - both locally and globally.
