Waste Reduction and Recycling
Crane Composites is committed to reducing the amount of waste sent to the landfill. Through recycling programs with customers and vendors most packaging waste is recycled avoiding the landfill. Trim and scrap waste is reduced year over year through Six Sigma and Kaizen projects.
Controlling Emissions
Within the U.S. Crane Composites manufacturing facilities state of the art Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTOs) are used to control emissions. All facilities are EPA compliant. FRP is a low voc emitting product and many of our building construction products have obtained Greenguard® certification.
Product Innovations
Lighter weight products for transportation and recreational vehicles help reduce fuel consumption for our end-users.
