Some of the significant highlights of long standing environmental stewardship:
- In 2007, Wood-Mode received certification in the Environmental Stewardship Program by the Kitchen Manufacturer’s Association, which recognizes and applauds industry manufacturers who engage in the use of environmentally friendly materials and manufacturing processes.
- 15 years ago, Wood-Mode installed a Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) System for the destruction of Volatile Organic Compounds or VOC’s from the manufacturing process, instead of sending the VOC’s directly into the atmosphere.
- Wood-Mode burns all of its wood scraps and sawdust to create steam for their dry kilns and heat for their plants creating energy efficiencies and eliminating landfill and resulting methane gas emissions.
- Wood-Mode purchases its hardwood lumber from forests in the Northeast US and Eastern Canada that grow at twice the rate of harvest. They are never clear-cut and any timber 12” in diameter or less is left standing.
