Sustainability

Innotec’s impact also focuses on the efficient and responsible use of resources in our products, operations, and community. Key to this commitment is continuous improvement of our environmental impact through:

  • Responsible Choices: reducing energy consumption and recycling cardboard, plastic, overmolded steel, and paper products.
  • Eco-Sensitive Products: Innotec has engineered flexible manufacturing processes in order to utilize recycled materials, becoming a leader in the industry in material efficiency and eliminating the use of hazardous substances.
  • Sustainability Stewardship: every year Innotec organizes and participates in several sustainability stewardship events to drive employee awareness to the conditions of their natural surroundings and inspire them to seek similar opportunities within their own communities.

Innotec is ISO 14001 certified.

Eco-Sensitive Products

Innotec has engineered flexible manufacturing processes in order to utilize recycled materials for a number of products spanning the furniture and automotive industries. Innotec’s Innviromass, ThinWall headrest stays and BoardFree® products lead the industry in material efficiency and in eliminating the use of hazardous substances.

Sustainability Stewardship

Innotec organized and participated in rejuvenating the Northside Pathway, a 1.5 mile stretch of wetland belonging to the Macatawa Greenway Partnership adjacent to our Roosevelt campus. This creates and drives employee awareness to the conditions of their natural surroundings and inspires them to seek similar opportunities within their own communities.

Innoblocks

For nearly twenty years, the Innotec team has been leading a stewardship project to innovate compressed stabilized earth blocks (CSEB) design and manufacturing to provide options for lower-cost building materials we named Innoblocks.  CSEB uses minimal concrete and is thus a far less expensive option.  The Innoblocks team has designed esthetically pleasing and functional earth blocks to build homes, walls, schools, and more.  Innoblocks has partnered with Habitat for Humanity in Sri Lanka to build homes, continues to sell individual blocks in Sri Lanka, and is preparing for a school build in Nepal using our latest mobile equipment design.  Our mobile equipment will be able to travel anywhere to support the use of CSEB for those in need.
