making green easier

At Carlisle FoodService Products, going green is more than a pledge. It’s a promise. Our Green Initiative is a corporate-wide commitment to respect – and protect – our planet by developing environmentally sound products and operating systems, and to lead the industry in making green easier for Carlisle customers around the globe.

Our new EcoMade™ logo is one of the ways we’re making green easier for you. When you select Carlisle products bearing this logo, you can be confident you’re purchasing earth-friendly products that support your green efforts in one or more of the following ways:


Conserving NATURAL RESOURCES Respecting the environment by reducing the amount of energy or other resources usually needed to complete the task.
Increasing RECYCLING Reusing materials that would ordinarily be discarded into the waste stream.
Embracing SUSTAINABILITY Utilizing natural raw materials in a way that will not permanently destroy the resource for use by future generations.
Supporting COMPOSTING Using organic materials that will decompose in an aerobic environment.
Facilitating BIODEGRADING Selecting materials that will degrade under natural conditions.


THE 4 PILLARS SUPPORTING CARLISLE’S GREEN INITIATIVE:

RESPECT

  • We monitor emerging environmental issues, regulatory changes, scientific data and technological advances to ensure compliance and to continually improve our environmental practices and policies.
  • Carlisle takes great pride in being a good neighbor and a good employer. As a leader in the global community, we have demonstrated our commitment to actively addressing community issues.
  • We work to integrate health and environmental considerations into day-to-day manufacturing and practices. Our promise is to produce products using processes that are more cost and energy efficient, and safer for our customers and employees.

RECYCLE/REUSE

  • We continue to expand our recycling programs. In addition to maintaining facilities for processing scrap and waste materials in our manufacturing plants, we reprocess nearly all of our internally created scrap.
  • Many of our products, such as melamine dinnerware and plastic tumblers are reusable and significantly lessen the environmental impact on landfills.

REDUCE

  • We strive to use minimal and recycled packaging materials to reduce land-fill waste and unnecessary use of our natural resources
  • By maintaining multiple global distribution centers, we are able to reduce transportation costs incurred delivering products to our customers.
  • We are developing energy-efficient plants utilizing equipment that reduces impact on the environment. This includes materials selection and energy-efficient lighting, heating and cooling systems. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, forklifts and other equipment are powered with rechargeable batteries wherever possible rather than propane or gas.
  • All the components used for insulation, rigidity, and thermal efficiency in our products have a zero CFC’s with a zero

RENEW

  • Long-term our goal is be nearly paperless relying more heavily on the web and print-on-demand materials.
  • Our marketing team and product development engineers are continually working to develop products that are innovative as well as environmentally sound to position Carlisle – and our customers – as leaders in this area.
