MANUFACTURING
Woodtech recycles all unused materials such as hardwood solids, saw dust, paper products, solvents and metal components. We manage energy closely with local power agencies to minimize consumption in our processes. In 2014, the company installed 650 solar panels, manufactured in the USA by SunPower, on the Woodtech factory roof. The photovoltaic panels generate annually over 316,000 kilowatt-hours. This solar collection system effectively creates enough power to cover 100% of the total energy needs annually at Woodtech. New high performance prismatic skylights have also been added to the plant, which further reduce energy needs. Consequently, with the solar panels and skylights, Woodtech has completely eliminated the need to draw on traditional energy sources..
Starting in 2014, Woodtech has been participating in voluntary emissions audits through CDP-Climate Disclosure Project. This data will help Woodtech track its goal of continuing to reduce its carbon footprint.
