Eco-friendly Practices in our Plant

At American Frame we strive to be a proactively eco-friendly company. Like all companies, we have waste, so our goal is to reduce and reuse as much as possible.

To reduce our footprint, one of the things we do is recycle. The items we recycle include:

• Corrugated cardboard
• Plexiglas
• Aluminum from metal mouldings (e.g., cuts, dust)
• Office paper, magazines and newspapers
• Plastic bottles
• Plastic banding
• Fluorescent tubes
• Used batteries
• Ink and toner cartridges
• Unusable wood pallets (which are made into mulch)

In 2013, we recycled 5 tons of aluminum scrap, 30 tons of corrugated cardboard and 8.5 tons of Plexiglas.

In addition to recycling, we examine our facilities and processes for opportunities to conserve energy.

Our biggest change to date is our white roof, which reduces heating and cooling needs.



Within our community, we donate usable leftover mat board and frames to schools and other art programs.

We also participate in UPS’Carbon Neutral Fund which you can read more about here


As always, if you have any questions contact us by calling (800) 537-0944 or email Customer.Service@AmericanFrame.com.
