Environmental Initiatives at DPC

Printer-friendly versionSend to friend

DPC is dedicated to preventing damage — not just to your products in transit, but also to the natural environment. In the most basic sense, our load securement solutions help keep damaged goods out of landfills. But our commitment to environmental preservation goes much deeper. It’s a priority we know we share with many of our customers. We drive energy efficiencies that generate savings we can pass on to you. We take steps to minimize our carbon footprint in order to be a provider you can feel good about choosing. And we invite you to share in our effort.

Green Products
All of our products show evidence of our attention to environmental impact. We consider every aspect of product design and performance, from the materials we choose to the disposal of used packaging materials. Our product line features:

  • 100% recyclable finished products
  • Exceptional product durability, allowing for repeat use
  • At least 50% recycled materials in our corrugated products and void fillers
  • Honeycomb panels made of 25% recycled content
  • Raw paper materials from Sustainable Forestry Initiative certified vendors who support sustainable forest management

 

Green Facilities
Both of our facilities are designed for optimal energy efficiency, both on the plant floor and in the offices. Our facilities feature:

  • Programmable thermostats
  • Enhanced insulation
  • ENERGY STAR-rated compressed air system for reduced power consumption
  • Recycling of all aluminum cans, bottles, corrugated cardboard and office paper waste

 

Green Future
At DPC, we’re always looking for opportunities to increase our energy efficiency and reduce our carbon footprint. Both facilities actively participate in a continuous improvement program, with plans for further development that include:

  • Utilizing even more recycled packaging and components
  • Procurement of recycled paper products for office needs
  • Reduction of waste and further recycling of paper products used in production
  • Recycling of electronic products used in the facility
  • More insulation and energy efficiency projects on the production floor
