Smarter Sourcing:
Rubbermaid Commercial Products greatly depends on its sourcing department to search the world over to find the best resources that will meet our stringent quality standards. We are committed to finding reliable sources of materials that are extracted and refined in a responsible manner. In the past year alone we have realized significant increases in the amount of recycled resin, steel, aluminum, and corrugate we use in our products.
Making Our Packaging More Sustainable:
RCP works to make its packaging more sustainable. In realizing that packaging plays an important, albeit brief, role in a product's life cycle, RCP has sought out ways to do more with less. RCP has reduced the amount of packaging used without affecting the intended purpose of packaging-to protect and draw attention to the product. In particular, we continue to work with our packaging suppliers to reduce packaging components that could be harmful to the environment, while increasing the amount of recycled and recyclable materials used, and better utilizing cube space in the transport of our products.
Making Our Distribution More Sustainable:
We work to realize efficiencies within our distribution systems. We eliminate Less-Than truckloads wherever possible, reallocating to full truckloads, and optimize miles per gallon by utilizing intermodal (rail) transportation.
