Vanguard’s “Green” Practices

• We use scrap melamine and particle board for battens, keeping it out of the landfill
• We have independent dust collection at each machine and only operate it when the machine is running vs. a central system that runs all the time regardless of how much equipment is running
• Our dust collection systems are inside the building keeping our heat inside in the winter reducing our energy consumption to heat the building
• We have a biomass furnace and burn our scrap to heat
• We have no light switches in our building, all are occupancy sensored
• Windows in factory let in natural light
• We have a new high efficiency air compressor
• Our building is insulated with the highest “R” value insulation available
• We are using water based glue for all of our production applications
• We separate our paper/cardboard and metal from other trash for recycling
