Tuf-Tite™ and Sustainability

RECYCLABILITY

Tuf-Tite™ polymer Septic and Drainage products are 100% recyclable.

PRODUCTION SCRAP
At the Tuf-Tite™ manufacturing facility, we are able to recycle and use, in-house, 99+% of our production waste.  

PACKAGING
All packaging used on Tuf-Tite™ products is made from at least 80% post industrial or post consumer waste material. In-bound packaging waste is sent to recycling facilities.

OTHER PLANT GREEN FEATURES
* Motion sensitive lighting installed throughout our facility ensures lights do not remain on in areas not in use.
Potential “Green”:
     • Large fans in our warehouse move air, reducing heating costs
     • Production restarts are staggered and done at non-peak times to minimize energy surges
     • Storm water from non-permeable surfaces is redirected to a wildlife wet-land retention area
     • Production "chiller" water is cleaned and recirculated as part of our production process
