OUR COMMITMENT TO GREEN BEGINS AT HOME…
CTT
believes protecting the environment and conserving energy begins at
home. CTT has taken energy conservation steps by replacing all facility
lighting with high-intensity discharge lighting. A power factor
correction project was performed by installing a phase liner for motors
in the facility. The project freed up enough electrical capacity to
supply seven homes and will prevent an estimated 147,000 lbs of CO2
emissions per year. CTT has also installed a grinding and collection
system which eliminated 700 tons of waste from becoming landfill. The
waste is now being re-cycled to another industrial product.
CTT is
located within a 600 mile radius of all our customers. Laminate
countertops are easily shipped and weigh less than other countertop
materials. CTT employs route planning software and equipment to
maximize the use of fuel.
CTT and
its employees utilize lean manufacturing techniques and work groups to
continue to improve efficiency and protect the environment.
