Commitment to Sustainable Manufacturing

Everyone at Schatz believes in leaving the world a better place for future generations.  We are doing our part to ensure that older systems have been upgraded and new systems meet green manufacturing standards.

See all the ways we have gone green below.

 

Upgraded the entire facility with state of the art high-efficiency lighting

  • Both the quantity and quality of the lighting has been improved
  • At the same time, we reduced our annual electricity consumption for lighting by 250,000 Kwh

Upgraded our compressed air system

  • Reduced our annual electricity consumption for compressed air by 150,000 Kwh
  • The combination of isolation valves, improved nozzles, and leak detection should increase electric savings in the future.

Installed float switches on pumps

  • Reduced our annual electricity consumption by 30,000 Kwh.

Numerous weatherization projects have been completed and many projects are planned for the future such as:

  • Adjusting and lubricating exhaust fan backdraft dampers
  • Repairing, sealing and/or replacing windows and doors
  • Caulking joints and filling cracks in exterior walls
  • Produced significant energy savings

Insulated steam supply piping

  • Annual fuel savings of 1750 Therms.

Recycling and Waste Disposal

  • We recycle all raw materials.
  • As always, we dispose of all waste streams properly in addition to exploring ways to minimize these waste streams.
