Pipp's Commitment to Green
A commitment to environmental sustainability is becoming more essential to today’s world. Pipp is doing its part as a responsible manufacturer by having processes in place to minimize the impact on the environment.
Recycled Content
The primary materials used in our manufacturing are steel
and aluminum. Whenever possible we use materials with a
high percentage of recycle content.
In general aluminum is 60% recycled and steel is 72%.
Aluminum is all pre-consumer recycled.
Steel is approximately 14% pre-consumer and 58% post-consumer
recycled.
Pipp can provide project specific information for the recycled
content of the aluminum and steel used.
Recycling
Our manufacturing process is designed to minimize waste materials,
by ensuring maximized use out of the aluminum and steel we
use. Whatever waste is generated during fabrication is recycled.
Packaging materials are also recycled where applicable. We
also participate in our offices were we recycle paper and
toner cartridges.
Lean Manufacturing
All of Pipp’s products are designed with a minimal amount
of parts and easy to assemble. Much of the assembly is
completed at our plant to save time and resources for the
end user. Our manufacturing facility is set up to minimize
time, energy and resources. This is a continually improved
process.
Vendor Partnerships
We align ourselves with vendors who share our same commitment
to the environment and practice responsible manufacturing.
High-density mobile shelving can play a pivotal role in your building project and obtaining LEED certification. Mobile shelving is “green” by design. The utilization of mobile shelving allows more storage in less space. This can be beneficial in allowing the use of an existing building that may have been out grown or by freeing up critical space for other uses. Mobile shelving can also be beneficial in reducing the overall size of the building, thus cutting down on construction materials and reducing energy consumption and costs.
Pipp Mobile has three types of movable systems to meet various
storage needs. The three systems are manual, mechanical and
electrical. The manual system is used in a lighter storage
application and is moved by pushing or pulling the shelving.
The mechanical system is used for heavier applications and
uses a handle to move the shelving. The handle turns a shaft
that runs the length of the mobile base, allowing for even
movement from one end to the other. The electrical system
operates automatically at the push of a button and can handle
loads up to 45,000 pounds.
