SUSTAINABILITY

Commitment to Greener Communities

Sustainability and environmental responsibility influence every aspect of our business. Through waste reduction, the wise use of resources and long-lasting, energy-efficient products, we live out the Integrity name.

Integrity from Marvin® Windows and Doors has a long history of green-minded initiatives with recycling efforts, employee awareness and incorporating green components into our processes. To see our list of numerous honors and awards for green building, visit IntegrityWindows.com/Green.

Uncompromised PerformanceIntegrity® Windows and Doors’ eco-friendly practices don’t compromise performance, because Integrity windows and doors are made with Ultrex®. Ultrex expands and contracts at nearly the same rate as glass, remaining tightly sealed with square corners. Since windows and doors last longer — with a 10 year product warranty to prove it — the energy used to produce them is put to more efficient use.

Recycling EffortsRecycling is part of the fabric of Integrity. Our ultimate goal is to reduce our waste stream to “zero waste” and we’re getting closer every year. So far, we’ve reduced our garbage volume by one-third, despite an increase in production and employees.

Annually, The Marvin® Companies recycle:

• 300 tons of cardboard

• 4,000 pounds of polyethylene films

• 3,300 pounds metal scraps and metal drums

• 800 tons of aluminum

• Other: Ultrex material, fiber drums, office materials, florescent and metal halide lamps and wood

• Regional Forest Education, a children’s program about the environment

• Community Emergency Management, an emergency preparedness program

• School District Recycling, a public-private partnership with Warroad, MN schools

Sustainable ForestryMarvin cares strongly for the critical role that forests play in the quality of life within the global ecosystems. We support sustainable forestry management and conserve natural resources through various efforts including:

• Preserving old growth and ancient rainforests

• Using pine, a resource not associated with rainforests, for Wood-Ultrex real-wood interiors

• Purchasing from reliable law lumber suppliers

• Participating as a Charter Member in the Forest Products Management

• Supporting the WDMA Green Task Force Statement of Beliefs

DEDICATION TO SUSTAINABILITYWe make products able to withstand the power of the great outdoors, while preserving the natural resources from which they were made.
