Environmental Statement

scs-logo-inlineKleer Lumber was founded in 2003 with a goal being an environmentally friendly manufacturer of high quality exterior trim products. The initial design of our manufacturing facility included equipment and processes that would allow us to recapture all waste generated by the manufacturing process. All unusable material created from starting up or shutting down equipment or from transitioning from one product to another, as well as material trimmed off during production are processed and introduced back into the manufacturing operation. Additionally, all PVC sawdust generated from our cutting and milling operations is reintroduced into the production process.

Not being satisfied with recycling only our own internally generated waste, Kleer Lumber also developed programs with outside vendors and customers to return their waste for reprocessing. We are also developing programs with lumber dealers and contractors to collect unused pieces of KleerĀ® brand cellular PVC trim products from job sites to be returned to Kleer Lumber for reprocessing. The result of these initiatives is that Kleer Lumber is now manufactured using a minimum 18% pre-consumer recycled content from outside sources. And that amount is certified by Scientific Certification Systems, the leading US based third party certifier of environmental claims.

Kleer Lumber's environmentally friendly approach does not stop with our own products either. We have developed recycling programs with raw material suppliers to recycle the containers and bags that their products are delivered in and we work with local recycling companies to recycle other items like cardboard and wooden pallets.

Kleer Lumber's approach from the beginning has been to manufacture one of the industry's highest quality products, deliver outstanding customer service, train develop and nurture exceptional talent and to be an environmentally responsible manufacturing organization.

Thank you for your interest in Kleer Lumber!
