A commitment to environmental sustainability is becoming more essential to today’s world. Pipp is doing its part as a responsible manufacturer by having processes in place to minimize the impact on the environment.
Recycled Content
The primary materials used in our manufacturing are steel and aluminum. Whenever possible, we use materials with a high percentage of recycled content.
- In general, aluminum is 60% recycled, and steel is 72%.
- Aluminum is all pre-consumer recycled.
- Steel is approximately 14% pre-consumer and 58% post-consumer recycled.
- Pipp can provide project-specific information on the recycled content of the aluminum and steel used.
Recycling
Our manufacturing process is designed to minimize waste materials by ensuring
maximum use of the aluminum and steel we use. All waste generated during production
is recycled. Packaging materials are also recycled where applicable. Our offices also
participate in paper and toner cartridge recycling programs.
Lean Manufacturing
All of Pipp’s products are designed with a minimal number of parts and are easy to
assemble. Much of the assembly is completed at our plant to save time and resources
for the end user. Our manufacturing facility is set up to minimize time, energy, and
resources. This is a continually improved process.
Vendor Partnerships
We align ourselves with vendors who share our same commitment to the environment
and practice responsible manufacturing.
High-density mobile shelving can play a pivotal role in your building project and obtaining LEED
certification. Mobile shelving is “green” by design. The utilization of mobile shelving allows more
storage in less space. This can be beneficial in allowing the use of an existing building that may
have been outgrown or by freeing up critical space for other uses. Mobile shelving can also be
beneficial in reducing the overall size of the building, thus cutting down on construction
materials and reducing energy consumption and costs.
Pipp Mobile has three types of movable systems to meet various storage needs. The three
systems are manual, mechanical, and electrical. The manual system is used in a lighter storage
application and is moved by pushing or pulling the shelving. The mechanical system is used for
heavier applications and uses a handle to move the shelving. The handle turns a shaft that runs
the length of the mobile base, allowing for even movement from one end to the other. The
electrical system operates automatically at the push of a button and can handle loads up to
45,000 pounds.

applications. If you have further questions, please contact us at 1-800-234-7477.
