DOING OUR PART
Pro Chem is also practicing what it preaches by a taking a closer look at the environment we have created. We have begun working toward LEED Certification for our office building. We are reducing waste in our operations. Thus far, Pro Chem has changed our toilets to either low flow or zero-flush models to reduce water consumption. We have also begun using 100% biodegradable packing peanuts to pack all of our shipments, replaced the lighting in our facility with the most energy-efficient lighting available, and all of our printed materials are created on recycled paper using soy ink.
