Environmental Concern

Duplium maintains a high regard for the environment and has implemented various recycling and waste programs. We are committed to all methods of environmental preservation and maintain a responsible attitude towards future generations.

Some of our ongoing programs include:

  • Glass Recycling: While traditional glass mastering involves various unfriendly chemicals, Duplium uses an automated glass recycler that allows the glass to be cleaned and reused many times. The system removes nickel and silver residues, photo-resist and adhesives, and any chemicals used for cleaning and rinsing throughout the mastering process.
  • Paper Recycling: All extra printed material including manuals, guides, booklets, tray cards, corrugated boxes, product cartons and more are sent to a local paper fiber recycling company.
  • Plastic Recycling: Excess plastic produced from manufacturing is ground into small chips and shipped to a local plastic recycler for reuse in less critical plastic manufacturing.
  • Water Treatment: All waste water and DI rinse water feeds a central waste water treatment system that removes all harmful elements and has a capacity to treat up to 500 gallons per day. Regular baseline samples are measured to ensure compliancy with local city and state authorities.

Over the past four years, our recycling efforts have been responsible for saving 2,223 trees, equivalent to saving 10,530 cubic feet of landfill.
