Thinking Green

Reuse
Douron, Inc. is pleased to do its' part towards re-using office furniture and making it functional and usable for a "second life". Our division, Office Furniture Liquidators, specializes in identifying re-usable product, cleaning and restoring the product to a functional and usable condition, and re-introducing the product back into offices where it can live its' second life.

And so the life cycle of office furniture continues. Natures' raw materials of wood, steel, and energy are saved, landfill usage is spared and open space is preserved. On average, every month Office Furniture Liquidators re-claims and converts 20,000 pounds of office furniture into usable product.

Recycle
15,000 trees, 6.3 million gallons of water, and 2700 cubic yards of landfill* ¨that's the benefit the community has realized as a result of Douron's cardboard and paper recycling efforts. In 2008, Douron recycled an average of 40 tons of cardboard and paper every month.

Our pledge is to expand our recycling efforts and include plastic and metal. Recycling stations are located throughout our buildings and designated paper, plastic, or metal recycling. Our landfills are spared precious space by the volume of plastic bottles, soda cans, or paper documents we recycle.

We pledge to form alliances with manufacturers and partner with regional recycling centers to facilitate the recovery and re-processing of recyclable items that otherwise can not be converted into functioning and usable product.

Respect
Computers, pen and paper, office chairs and desks - all items that are necessary during the daily course of business and commerce. But there's no need to strip nature of its' fundamental beauty. Douron has installed high efficiency halogen lighting and re-circulation fans in its' warehouses in order to reduce electrical usage.

Douron pledges to respect nature by giving back. Douron, and its' individual team members are regularly engaged in community recycling efforts, special collection of batteries, cell phones and computers, and support for tree reeplanting such as the Maryland "Tree-mendous" program. We pledge to maintain peak performance of our truck fleet to reduce fuel consumption and increase tire life; we seek to maximize truck efficiency by selecting best possible delivery routes and reduce truck idle time. We have recently achieved our goal of reducing fuel consumption by 10%.
