DriSteem Sustainable Packaging Solutions Reduce Environmental Impact
Eden Prairie, MN – September 2024 – DRI-STEEM Corporation (DriSteem), the leading manufacturer of humidity control, evaporative cooling, and water treatment products, reinforces their sustainability initiative to reduce environmental impact through responsible packaging solutions. This underscores DriSteem’s commitment to sustainability and reflects its dedication to minimizing waste and promoting eco-friendly practices.
DriSteem uses an extruding machine to shape roll paper into recyclable packaging material. This system reduces the need for plastic packaging and supports DriSteem’s goal of reducing overall waste. By leveraging recyclable materials, DriSteem ensures that every step of its packaging process is aligned with environmentally responsible practices.
In addition, DriSteem has made significant updates to its shipping and receiving processes. The Receiving area has a dedicated dumpster exclusively for recyclable cardboard, making it easier to manage and recycle incoming packaging materials. This improvement enhances the company’s recycling efforts, overall efficiency, and reduces its carbon footprint.
DriSteem’s dedication to sustainability extends to the loading dock, where all outgoing orders are packaged in crates made of fully recyclable materials. This shift in packaging design ensures that DriSteem and its customers can contribute to a more sustainable future by reducing non-recyclable materials.
“At DriSteem, we understand the critical role that businesses must play in creating a more sustainable future,” said David Pflum, President of DriSteem. “Our approach to packaging is just one example of how we work to minimize our environmental impact and lead the way in responsible manufacturing practices.”
DriSteem remains committed to identifying new ways to reduce waste and improve the sustainability of its products and processes. Responsible packaging represents a solid step forward in the company’s broader sustainability efforts, which include a focus on energy efficiency, responsible sourcing, and product longevity.
