 At GSI, sustainability is not just a fad. Environmental responsibility is the cornerstone of the future of our company. In an effort to be proactive to this endeavor, GSI has joined the United States Green Building Council (USGBC), the largest community of professionals seeking to transform the building industry. USGBC has developed the LEED rating system for green building and our use of eco-friendly materials and environmentally responsible production capabilities can help earn points towards the certification of green building projects.
Green Efforts:
- Modular sign construction – modular sign systems components can be easily replaced without having to replace the entire sign or can accommodate paper inserts.
- The use of recycled materials – materials such as recycled aluminum, resins made from 40% post industrial re-grind, MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) made from reclaimed wood fibers, and high pressure decorative laminates made from 40% recycled content can be utilized in the construction of our signs.
- Low VOC sprays and paint- low VOC (volatile organic compound) paints and finishes reduce the quantity of indoor air contaminants.
- LED Illuminated signage – LED or Light-Emitting Diode signs are 85% more efficient than neon signs.
- Local suppliers – Whenever possible, GSI utilizes local suppliers and resources for manufacturing materials.
- Company-wide recycling program – GSI recycles plastics, acrylics, aluminum, steel, glass and paper in our manufacturing and office facilities.
- Continuing education – GSI is committed to continuing environmental education as a member of the United States Green Building Council. To learn more please visit www.usgbc.org
