Preserving Our Natural Resources
ZIP System products optimize the user of wood because they are made from young, small trees, which are more quickly replaced than older-growth trees like those used in making plywood. And to ensure that nothing goes to waste, we use leftover wood chips, bark and sawdust to help fuel our manufacturing facilities.
We are also leading the industry in modifying manufacturing processes to be more environmentally friendly. Each of our plants employs state-of-the-art environmental control equipment to ensure that we have a minimal impact on the environment, and all of our mills are certified by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI)
