Environmental Statement
Blue is our Green
While aluminum sets us apart in our industry, our long-standing environmental commitment is what brings us closer to the world around us. With an ever-increasing focus on global warming, conservation and sustainability, it is more essential than ever that we all do our part to keep our water clear and our sky blue. That's why blue is our green. It represents what Eagle
® does to make our products as good for the environment as they are for the places we live and work. Being green is always part of Eagle blue - and we put a touch of it in every window and door we make.
Preserving Nature
To protect our natural resources, Eagle uses wood harvested from managed forests and leverages engineered wood technology whenever possible - we use finger-jointed wood and laminated veneer lumber, both of which use wood efficiently and result in superior performance. In addition, we use water-based finishes, which are far better for the environment than oil-based products.
Reducing Waste
Eagle recycles whenever possible - office paper, sawdust, scrap aluminum, paints and solvents. Our electrostatic paint system attracts the paint to the aluminum, creating much less waste. And we keep packaging to a minimum to reduce construction debris.
Using Recycled Materials
Eagle cladding contains recycled aluminum, which requires much less energy to process than virgin aluminum. In addition, we recycle cullet (broken glass), which cuts tons of landfill waste each year.
Conserving Energy
Eagle technology and design innovation creates greater energy efficiency in all our products. Our High-Performance Low-E4 glass provides superior thermal protection and significantly reduces heating and cooling requirements. Combined with weather-tight frames, sashes and seals, Eagle windows and doors play an important role in energy conservation.
Taking an Active Role
Eagle is proud of our continued commitment to safeguarding limited natural resources. By working closely with industry organizations we ensure that our products meet your needs and those of our greater community.
