Omega Plastics
Sustainability Initiative
Preserving and protecting our environment is important to Omega Plastics, because it is simply the right thing to do. We take pride in being a part of our community, and have made great strides to continue the “green” quest. We strive to reuse, reduce and recycle in all aspects of our business including the following:
- Omega is a net consumer of recycled plastic compounds – We recycle the scrap we make, and buy considerable amounts of recycled materials from others to make environmentally friendly products for the markets we serve
- Scrap cardboard and packaging materials are collected and recycled
- Wood pallets are reused whenever possible, and when they are damaged the skids are collected and rebuilt by local businesses for consumption
- Aluminum and steel scrap from our tool construction department is collected and recycled
- Brass wire utilized in our state of the art Wire EDM processing is collected and recycled
- We receive and send electronic PO’s, invoicing and other business documents from suppliers and customers whenever possible
- We encourage our customers to sign up for electronic invoicing and order acknowledgment to reduce paper usage
- We employ innovative, energy-efficient warehouse lighting that senses movement to activate only when people or equipment are present
- Office lighting employs motion detection in appropriate areas to conserve energy
- Our plant is operated on a 24 hours per day, 7 days per week schedule to spread our energy load out over as much non-peak time as possible
Omega is doing our part to preserve the environment so you and your children’s children can enjoy all that our precious earth has to offer. Contact us to learn more.
