StrongArm Brand Environmental Eco Friendly Conservation Info
Environmental
protection is a priority for the conservation of precious natural
resources and the continued health of planet earth. StrongArm Brand Co.
recognizes its responsibility in the global environment for
conservative design and is continually striving to reduce the
environmental impact of the work we do and with the products we create.
StrongArmBrand and the Global Environment:
StrongArmBrand
takes pride in its development history of innovation and thoughtful
design. Environmental Conservation and technological leadership goes
beyond just what's inside the bottle.
StrongArm is designed to be SAFE Across the board in a Three step procedure:
1) Safe and non destructive on machinery and components its applied onto
2) Safe for the people applying it; and
3) Safe to the world we're living on: From the sod below to the sky
above. How we impact the environment is important to us, and
environmental consideration is an integral part of StrongArm Brand's
business practices. From Laboratory stages of product design through
manufacturing, use, and recycling, we take care to insure all of our
activities and our products are totally environmentally friendly, safe
and sound.
Primary
areas of specific and particular attention are product, packaging and
shipping container design, responsible manufacturing, energy
efficiency, and recycling. All aspects of the design cycle provide
innovative challenges, and our efforts have resulted in some impressive
results.
Product design: It
all begins here. Eliminating the environmental impact of StrongArm
Brand products starts with the product design phase. Design of highly
refined industrial grade raw materials which are safe and/or even food
grade, recylability of containers, energy consumption required for
manufacturing and the elimination of energy consumption and unnecessary
steps in use, and the ease of usage.
StrongArm
Brand continually refines its product design to maximize efficiency
while minimizing waste. The dispenser and internal structure of the
delivery components is highly optimized to allow delivery of the
material at merely a drop at a time. If more is required, a straight
stream containing droplets in thousands of small clusters is dispensed
in the form of a straight parabolical stream which can reach up to
several feet, directly into the areas of need. This results in a massive saving of pollution and unnecessary release of effluent compounds into the atmosphere. Other
products have a cheap hair spray nozzle which produces only a full
blast wide mist which loses the material into the atmosphere around the
area where it is needed as particulate, chemical and air pollution.
These inferior hair spray misting nozzles are responsible for the
releasing of millions of metric tons of material waste into the
atmosphere all over the globe annually. StrongArm Brand Products
strictly forbids such usage of these inferior and wasteful cheap hair
spray type of misting nozzles from their products. Our drop by drop -
streaming pump dispenser concept is by far more intricate, but it's a
small price to pay when it eliminates pollution and prevents the undue
waste of this high quality product, making it pay for itself many times
over. StrongArm innovationists had this nozzle concept developed and
put into use over 20 years ago, and it is now also taken and used by
other products and companies who agree with the idea of elliminating
waste..
Responsible Manufacturing: StrongArm
Brand has NO use of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and brominated non
flammables within its products. StrongArm Brand helps to safeguard the
environment - as well as consumers' safety - by restricting the use of
environmentally harmful compounds in our materials and manufacturing
processes. For example, our restricted substances criteria limits the
use of any heavy metals, toxic compounds and ozone depleting substances
in our products and manufacturing processes.
Energy efficiency: The
greatest lack environmental impact in creating a product is in its
longevity over time. StrongArm Brand has made great strides in recent
years to optimize the energy efficiency of our raw material chemicals
and Lab to Factory production lines.
Recycling: StrongArm
Brand's holistic approach to recycling - encompassing a product's
entire lifecycle - includes recycling return programs that enable
consumers and businesses to dispose of used StrongArm containers via
recycling in an environmentally sound manner.
History of sound practice: Year
after year, StrongArm Brand has set and met important goals to phase
out environmentally relevant substances, create recycling programs and
improve efficiency. Here are some of the most important milestones in
our quest for environmental responsibility:
Innovative and efficient: StrongArm
Brand strongly believes that reducing the environmental impact of our
business starts with the design of our products. We set high standards
- based on our own requirements and those set by other programs such as:
Responsible Manufacturing: StrongArm
Brand recognizes the need for environmentally responsible production,
including the use of recyclable materials and the restriction of
chemical compounds or materials that can harm the environment.
StrongArm Brand's record of restricting harmful substances goes back
over two decades.
StrongArm
Brand has long been an advocate of product stewardship, and we believe
that this concept extends to re-using containers and proper disposal of
no longer used containers.
A holistic view:
StrongArm Brand takes a holistic view of recycling and waste
minimization. We apply this philosophy from the outset, beginning in
the design stage by creating compact, ultra-efficient products that use
high-recycling-value materials wherever possible.
StrongArm
Brand strives to minimize the amount of waste generated at our company
sites and operations. When waste paper, glass, metals, and plastics do
arise from site activities, we ensure the materials are recycled
properly.
Some examples include:
Cardboard RE-USAGE: StrongArm Brand ELLIMINATES a huge energy consumption cycle and drain by incorporating a unique reusage program for cardboard containers that would normally be disposed or recycled. We
take boxes out of the disposal path which are made of heavy coated
cardboard used by restaurants and from frozen foods, and turn them into
shipping boxes. Our shipping department has packaging artists that re-cut and retrofit the boxes into containers for StrongArm bulk product. THIS
procedure saves the energy used and cost of recycling the material,
elliminates the energy and cost of remanufacturing the material, and
elliminates the energy and expenses of transporting and distributing
remanufactured cardboard boxes, And most of all, it saves the expense
of purchasing boxes. There is a slight increase in the time and
labor of implementing these boxes, but that's menial expense compared
to the rest the costs which are saved. Our packaging criteria call for
tightly sealed boxes on all sides with strongly reinforced interiors.
We package to a standard that is 5 times higher that those specified by
shipping companies; thereby eliminating any waste footprint, cost
footprint and replacement expense caused by product damage in and the
filing of claims and paperwork.
Paper:
This recycling path encompasses all cardboard packaging, as well as
paper from manuals and other printed materials. These materials are
sent to processing mills, where they undergo a hydro-pulping process to
produce new paper-based products such as cardboard boxes and tissues.
Foam:
Protective foam is remanufactured into new foam products as well as a
variety of other materials, such as carpet padding and substitute wood
products (e.g., crown molding or baseboard).
Metal:
Cans are recycled with tin cans in the usual manner. Plastic tops can
recycle with other plastic containers and covers. Cardboard boxes can
recycle with compacted cardboard in industry, or be used for clean
burning kindling material by users and individuals who heat buildings
and hot water with wood fired boilers.
Plastic:
Plastic recycles into collection bins where household and industrial
liquid containers are deposited and returned into the supply chain.
