At Lacks, we take our responsibility to our employees, our partners, and our community seriously. This means committing time and resources to continually updating our manufacturing processes.
EcoEdge Initiative 2023 is our promise to improve sustainability and reduce emissions by minimizing waste, enhancing energy efficiency, and ensuring our manufacturing processes are PFOS, PFAS, and Cr6+ free.
We live and work in Michigan. That’s why our devotion to protecting our environment goes far beyond meeting requirements. Our team is committed to managing our operations in an environmentally sustainable manner. We look at the complete life cycle of our materials and resources to eliminate employee exposure and ensure that chemical or material waste streams that leave Lacks facilities are near zero and comply with all of our state and federal government emissions and discharge requirements.
What goes into our products is as important as final product. We are continually innovating our electroplating processes to offer high-quality, durable finish alternatives that eliminate Cr6+ and PFAS during manufacturing, while still enabling the reflectivity options and color depth you get with our traditional finishes.
New Lacks finish technologies include:
