And now for what we do here at Gettysburg Flag Works...

1. Reduce
   1. New efficient lighting utilizing a specular anodize reflector and timed motion sensors has resulted in over a 20% reduction in energy usage. We expect a payback in less than 7 years. This will enable us to return to a lower electric rate.
   2. To increase both employee comfort and reduce energy usage, we are adding insulation to the exterior walls and ceiling of our warehouse facility. The insulation will not only reduce heat load and heat loss, it will improve the work area with a brighter ceiling.
   3. We reduce our waste by using regular dishes rather than plastic and paper ones for our lunches, and by using towels in the bathroom and kitchen instead of paper towels.
2. Re-Use
   1. We reuse scrap paper that was printed on 1 side by cutting it into squares and using the back of it, instead of buying note paper.
   2. We re-use packing materials and boxes from inventory shipments to send packages to our customers when possible. This also helps reduce the shipping costs for our customers.
   3. When shopping for store supplies, we always bring our recycled cloth shopping bags.
   4. Kraft paper used for printing is reused in stuffing packages.
   5. Nylon fabric scraps generated by the custom sewing department are sold to crafters to use in their projects instead of adding them to the landfill.
3. Recycle
   1. As our business increase, so did the amount of corrugated cardboard from incoming shipments. All of our waste cardboard is now recycled.
   2. GFW recognizes the importance of a clean environment and with the cooperation of all employees, collects and recycles all plastic and metal containers. Additionally, all metal scrap recovered from worn out flagpole components is recycled.
   3. Electronics recycling. The amount of electronic scrap generated in today's businesses increases with every new or upgraded gadget. At GFW, we make certain that all discarded computers, monitors, phone systems, and the like, are properly recycled to reduce toxic waste in our landfills.
   4. We buy recycled printer paper & recycle as much as possible when we've used it and reused it.
   5. Plastic from our lunch drinks and meals is recycled following community guidelines.
