Environmental Statement

 

 

Being a friend of the environment is not a new initiative at Modernfold. Modernfold has been practicing environmentally conscious manufacturing processes in its facilities for many years. Careful attention is paid not only to the amount of energy we consume but what we emit back into the environment. As a company, we seek out ways to be environmentally friendly in how we design, how we operate our facilities, and in our partnerships with suppliers who are committed to sustainable development.

 

Modernfold strives to recycle, reuse, or salvage our materials and scrap. In our manufacturing process, efforts such as the following contribute to our green initiative:

• Steel and aluminum chips recycled
• Wood pallets recyled into mulch
• Oils captured and reused
• Cardboard recycled
• Newsprint, magazines, and office paper recycled

   
Along with our efforts for recycling, we also use components in our products that are environmentally friendly.

• 100% recycled gypsum
• 100% NAUF MDF board 
• Use of waterbase adhesives
• Paint HAPS (Hazardous Air Pollutants) Free
• Products have been documented to be 70% recylable at end of life

 

Modernfold understands the importance of the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification and welcomes the challenge to build safe and sustainable buildings by aligning our products with the standards set by LEED.

 

 

We believe that environmentally friendly practices make us more efficient and help us manage our costs which in turn benefit the architect, designer, facility owner, and the community.
