Sustainability at Azar Displays
Posted by Erin Morris on Jul 26th 2024
At Azar Displays, we take pride in our commitment to sustainability. We incorporate recycling and waste management at every stage of our production process to enhance efficiency and reduce our carbon footprint. With over 250,000 square feet of warehouse and manufacturing space, maintaining a clean and recyclable environment is crucial to our operations.
We recycle and repurpose all acrylic scrap runoff, pure acrylic dust, and LDPE mask film in various ways. Each acrylic machine is equipped with a vacuum seal system that collects dust particles, which are then baled and sent out for recycling. Some of this pure acrylic dust is melted down and combined with color concentrate to produce tinted acrylic materials, such as our extensive line of colored pegboards. This dust can also be recycled and used in the production and manufacturing of industrial resin.
Leftover acrylic scraps in our warehouse are collected for recycling, and we make sure these never end up in landfill waste. Through every injection molded process, we reuse a minimum of 10% waste material from other production runs. This not only cuts down on the total amount of plastic resin produced, but greatly reduces plastic waste that would otherwise end up in landfills. On production runs for tinted and colored products, we are able to use as much as 80% of recycled materials in the manufacturing of these new items. This can be seen most prominently in our opaque colored pegboards that are produced with less than a 4% waste ratio per every 1,000 units.
