Energy Consumption – Our consumption of energy is carefully monitored and measures are taken to ensure it is not wasted

  • Lighting- updated in 2013
  • Wind generator – the first unit, a 30KWH wind turbine, was installed in 1985, and an updated 100KWH unit has been in operation since 2011 which allows approximately 25% yearly savings

 

Office procedure- Our office implements many paperless practices to cut office waste

  • Receive electronic purchase orders, invoices, and other business documents from suppliers and customers whenever possible
  • Encourage our customers to sign up for electronic invoicing via fax or email to reduce paper usage
  • Increased use of e-mail greatly reducing the amount of paper recycled
  • Business records are digitized to minimize hard copy document storage when available
  • Multifunctional devices (for faxing, printing and photocopying) are used to reduce energy and paper usage

 

Reducing waste- Flame Engineering finds uses for many leftover materials

  • Recycle discarded paper
  • Use recycled paper for copying and printing
  • Use recycled paper towels

  • Catalogs and price sheet made from recycled paper
  • We encourage staff and visitors to recycle aluminum cans and paper by placing recycling bins in central areas
  • Recycle spent fluorescent lamps, batteries and printer cartridges
  • Reduced amount of our landfill waste by finding ways of recycling materials, such as scrap metal, and cardboard, either in-house or in conjunction with others who are able to use the material constructively
