Ecologically Responsible Manufacturing

Egan Visual purchases veneer that is harvested from responsibly managed forests, and are analyzed for optimum material usage. Egan's ongoing commitment to environmental protection is based on seven basic fundamentals. These fundamentals are rigidly adhered to and monitored by the company's Environmental, Health and Safety Committee to gage their environmental impact.

✓ Manufacturing process control
✓ Material selection
✓ Sustainable material sourcing
✓ Air quality
✓ Recyclable opportunities
✓ Supplier adherence
✓ Employee well being

Recent improvements include the reduction of emissions through the use of low emission coatings and water based coatings. This coating is applied in automated environments that eliminate over spray and minimize waste. These sealed system environments heat cure the finish to eliminate open air dry time.

Eco-Friendly Coatings
✓ Standard Etex colors use a high quality, colorfast and environmentally friendly water-based coatings.
✓ Egan Etex coatings meet the most stringent air quality standards, with Volatile Organic Compound (V.O.C.) emissions below testing detection limits.
✓ Low emission coatings are applied in automated environments that eliminate over spray and minimize waste. These 'sealed system' environments heat cure the finish to eliminate 'open air' dry time.

Recycled Paper Honeycomb
✓ Egan’s lightweight products are built with an incredibly strong and warp-free recycled paper honeycomb core.
✓ Lightweight product cores contain 95% air!

Recyclable corrugated paper is primarily used for product shipping. Packaging methods are continuously reviewed and redesigned to reduce excess. Products delivered locally are blanket wrapped to reduce excess packaging waste. Direct shipments from Egan's plant are generally skidded and stretch wrapped with corner protection to minimize the amount of packaging material used. Egan's head office and factory reduce waste by implementing recycling programs. Throughout the facilities there are receptacles for paper, glass and aluminum. Other measures Egan takes to be environmentally conscious are the proper disposal of hazardous wastes. Employee staffed committees oversee all aspects of adherence and report to Senior Management.
