Kitchens with a conscious
We at Glenwood Kitchen Ltd. are making an effort to limit of our carbon footprint. As such, every year we are taking more and more steps to be more environmentally friendly. We have made both big and small changes that will leave a lasting impression. We are doing things like switching our lights to recycling any of our paper. At the centerpiece of our environment initiatives is our biomass furnace. Simply put, our dust collection system collects dust and plywood waste throughout the production area and transports them to two silos adjacent to the building. The silos then feed the biomass furnace, which burns the fuel to heat water that circulates to provide all heat required for the plant. We recently upgraded our boiler to an efficient, clean burning furnace that reduces our carbon footprint. Glenwood also uses the most up-to-date technology in cutting and machining our products so that we are not throwing away material.
We have also added a green product line to our catalogue that consists of:
