We track and regularly review sustainable manufacturing metrics at each of our facilities, including kilowatts of power used per hour and per pound of resin, gallons of water consumed and pounds of waste generated and reused, as part of our focus on continually improving our processes and investing in new energy-efficient systems, technology and equipment to reduce our energy and resource consumption and waste.

Knobs works closely with customers and suppliers to utilize recycled materials when it is available. We can use re-ground material that we collect here, or can use resin that is compounded from recycled plastics.

Knobs has also been implementing and improvising the use of natural substances into our plastic injection molding process to combat some of the negative realities of using plastic for certain products or components. By using these renewable and recycled plastics, we are helping reduce the environmental footprint for ourselves, our community, and our customer.
