Alpha is committed to eliminating unnecessary packaging and reusing
material to minimize waste. As an environmentally responsible company, we
have initiated
these green programs globally as part of our continuing
commitment to
a better, cleaner world:
• We’ve eliminated the use of master packs or
intermediate packaging in
all of our processes. This hasresulted in the elimination of tons of
materials.
• In the United States, we have eliminated the use of individual poly bags.
We are currently working with our global manufacturers to do the same.
• We use cardboard cartons from China made of biodegradable
rice paper.
• We are working with our U.S. cardboard providers to use renewable
raw materials.
• We have reduced our waste output by reusing packaging in all of our facilities.
• We use recyclable polycarbonate to make Alpha Keepers.
• We recycle all waste polycarbonate in our manufacturing facilities.
• We use a third party recycler to sort our through our manufacturing
waste to separate recyclable materials.
• We’re working on a cradle-to-cradle program to have certain products
returned to be remanufactured into new useful components.
