CENTRIA’s Recycle, Reuse and Reclaim initiatives have generated impressive results and demonstrate the company’s commitment to sustainable practices in the built environment.
CENTRIA’s Sheridan, Ark., plant works in collaboration with Metro Scrap Metals, Inc., to recycle any scrap metal generated during the manufacturing process. In 2010, CENTRIA facilitated the recycling of more than 1.1 million pounds of scrap metal.
In addition to recycling scrap metal, CENTRIA partners with Sizemore Metal Products to repurpose products that were originally used for test runs or do not meet CENTRIA’s high standards for sale. For example, some of the products designated for reuse are used for agricultural buildings, church camps, or camping trailers. Future opportunities for reuse, based on the location and current use of metal panels, are in the planning stages.
CENTRIA’s recycling and reuse procedures allowed the company to implement a Reclaim Program. This initiative gives building owners the option of sending used CENTRIA panels from deconstructed or renovated buildings at the end of the current exterior wall life to the Sheridan plant. Once there, the panels will be assessed for either reuse or recycling.
