Sustainability At Safety Rail Company
Our Environmental Initiatives
Environmental sustainability is a cornerstone value at Safety Rail Company – and our internal processes and facility operations reflect this commitment as we adhere to the following principles:
Energy
Safety Rail Company facilities are operated with sustainability in mind by utilizing 100% wind power – which supports local rural economies while using only environmentally friendly LED lighting. We are also committed to dramatically lowering our carbon footprint with the use of clean electric Arc-fired foundries (as opposed to coke-fired foundries), while also providing employee-use EV charging stations.
Recycling
We are committed to recycling at SRC, both in our office operations (with paper, plastic, aluminum, and steel scrap) and our manufacturing process (by utilizing only domestically sourced products with proven documentation of recycled content).
Domestic Products
We source 100% domestic products in our manufacturing process, maintaining as many regional partnerships as possible and thus lowering transportation-based carbon emissions.
NO VOC's
The electro-static powder-coat paint used in our manufacturing process eliminates Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).
Phospate-Free Pretreatments
We have converted the wash systems used in our coating process from harmful phosphate-based pretreatments to those utilizing zirconium: a safer, greener material.
Ongoing Monitoring
Safety Rail Company is committed to continually improving our environmental policies – we are thus continually monitoring our facility processes for energy efficiency in power usage, heating and cooling, and transportation efficiency.
