All office lighting switches have been replaced with motion sensors.

Solid Waste Management

Ockers has implemented a 100% Recycling Diversion goal for all of its waste from our operations. Ockers goal is to minimize waste through efficiency measures, promotion of recycling, and employ the use of products with recycled content which will help to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills. We have continuously worked to meet this end by setting objectives and targets for our waste streams and implement efforts that will, over time divert all waste from our operations from being sent to the landfill. Ockers has partnered with ECO Recycling to recycle all electronics, cardboard, paper and plastic. We recycle 100%o of our shipping pallets.

Chemical Management

OCKERS works to mindfully reduce or eliminate chemicals that are hazardous to human and ecosystem health throughout our manufacturing facilities; from our finishing and assembly operations to the use of janitorial cleaning products. OCKERS has built a chemical inventory to identify and track all new and existing chemicals coming into and leaving our facility that could have a negative impact on the health of our employees, as well as the environment outside of our walls. We maintain Safety Data Sheets through an electronic filing system so that chemical information can easily be accessed by all members of our team. This commitment includes regular evaluation of the current state of our chemical management and hazard communication plans.
