PFI GREENManufacturing Initiatives include:

Eco-Friendly Materials:

– All MDF purchased by PFI consists of 100% recycled wood

– All metals purchased by PFI have recycled material content of 22% or greater of which post consumer content is 55% or greater and post industrial content of 31% or greater

– All metals are powdercoated, rather then plated or painted

– Plating/Painting has much more negative environment impact

– Most powdercoating overspray can be retrieved and reused, virtually eliminating any waste

– Powdercoated MDF utilizes UV light to cure the powder, which is highly efficient

– All adhesives and paints are no or low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds)

– PFI recycles 100% of all corrugated material

Waste Management:

– PFI’s nested-base CNC machining centers limit waste and increase panel yield. This also results in cost savings for our customers

PFI GREENDesign Initiatives include:

Sustainability:

– Displays and exhibits are designed to accommodate numerous updates, both graphically and with product, to increase the life cycle

Waste Management:

– PFI designs all solutions to easily disassemble, resulting in minimal space requirements after useful life

PFI GREENFacility Initiatives include:

Energy Conservation:

– Setting thermostat thresholds for heating and cooling efficiency

– Using energy efficient fluorescent lighting

– PFI is installing 34,000 sq ft of eco-friendly roofing. This system rates an SRI (Solar Reflectance Index) of 98 out of a possible 100, which assists in thermal controls and therefore reduces energy requirements. LEED accreditation calls for an SRI minimum of 78 or greater
