ECOLOGICAL RESPONSIBILITY
DE LA FONTAINE has adopted ecological principles aimed to consume less, pollute little and recycle more. Here are some examples of our commitments:
- LEED v4 Certification coming soon. Please contact the Customer service for any LEED-related information.
- 100% recycling of steel waste
- Recycling of production waste
- Recycling of wood transport pallets
RECYCLED CONTENT
The total recycled content of our galvannealed steel is approximately 89.7%.
This includes:
- A total post-consumer content of 50.6%
- A total post-industrial content of 33.3%
- The remaining 5.8% is comprised of home scrap.
The total recycled content of our stainless steel is over 85%. However, the mill makes no distinction as to the origin of the scrap.
