OGi is committed to constantly improving our production processes to seek new methods of limiting waste, reducing energy consumption and enhancing our closed loop manufacturing practices. This closed loop process entails recycling our scrap and slitting and processing our steel bars to ensure that we limit the amount of waste in production. All OGi Green Products contain a high percentage of recycled metal in order to assist the design community in achieving the LEED Credits required on many of today’s environmentally conscious projects.
All our products are 100% recyclable at the end of their lifespan which further limits their carbon footprint and their impact on the environment.
Our products can be manufactured from aluminum, carbon and stainless steel
Ohio Gratings, Inc. Aluminum and Steel Grating products use the following minimum percentages of Pre and Post Consumer
Recycled Materials on an average basis.
