Eco Statement from Replogle Globes

Replogle Globes, Inc., our leading globe manufacturer, has recently published information regarding its contribution towards energy and resource-efficiency.

With over 80 years of manufacturing experience, Replogle maintains a keen awareness of its responsibility to the environment. They are continuing to improve their energy and resource efficiency in the following areas of their business:

LEAN MANUFACTURING
Replogle Globes is working towards improving quality and reducing the carbon footprint of activities within their factory. It has reduced the amount of energy usage through the reduction of machines and materials transportation.

PAPER & FIBRE PRODUCT RECYCLING
Replogle allows outside companies to pick up their excess paper and fibre. In addition, they recycle approximately 5 imperial tons of paper and fibre materials each year.

PLASTIC RECYCLING
Replogle utilises some post-industrial reclaimed plastic in its manufacturing processes. The unused plastic is gathered from the manufacturing line and delivered to the in-house grinding room where the excess materials are reformed into pellets and redistributed to the machines.

PURCHASING
The Replogle purchasing department continues to source eco-conscious products for use in their daily production, office administration and maintenance departments. Currently all the 'press-craft' used in manufacturing the globe balls is made from post-consumer reclaimed paper fibre.

All in all, over 75% of the globes produced in the Replogle factory contain recyclyed or sustainable components.
