Green Initiatives

As an eco-conscious company and industry leader, you can rely on American Frame to be conservation minded within our daily operations as well as to support community initiatives unrelated to our industry.

Daily Operations
In our view, it all starts with the choice of great suppliers - companies who share the same values and goals as we do in relation to the environment and the labor pool involved with their manufacturing. The majority of materials we sell are American made and are therefore manufactured in compliance with the reforestation practices and other environmental standards set in this country. Where we do import, suppliers are held to the same standards as our US based sources. 

Packaging your order for safe delivery in recyclable materials is also a top priority for us. Please recycle and re-use this packaging as you can.

We’re probably one of the few companies you will find who invests in its recycling program. An extra 5,000 square feet of warehouse space is leased near our main facility to house our scrap until it can be distributed to companies who reuse these materials in their own manufacturing processes.

Useable waste is liquidated through our Showroom (link to Showroom page). If you’re local, come in and search our Free Bin for mat board scrap, and take advantage of extra low prices on ready made frames.

Community
In August of ’08, American Frame responded to the call to conserve fuel by creating the Ride on Nitrogen Initiative (RONI) (link to press release and video). As politicians debate, American Frame acts, and is encouraging the public to conserve fuel by filling their tires with nitrogen. It’s a benefit we have decided to provide our employees and ask that other businesses do so as well. For a very small investment per employee, we are helping them reduce their commuting costs. Since nitrogen is a more stable gas than oxygen, fuel economy can be improved from 4-10% and tire life can be extended up to 30%. For more information go to www.getnitrogen.org.
