LISTA GOES GREEN INITIATIVE
Concerned about the environment? So is Lista. Lista have updated their practices to become more green. With some great innovations like recycling water for paint wash systems and reducing volatile organic compounds by approx. 80% Lista is greener than ever. Feel secure that you are getting the highest quality metal storage cabinets from a company that also takes care of the environment.
Lista green practices
• We reduced VOCs (volatile organic compounds) by approx. 80% when we changed
to a powder coating system from a wet paint system.
• With the change to powder coating, we reduced our natural gas consumption by
roughly 25%, saving energy and reducing CO2 production.
• We recycle our own water for our paint wash systems.
• We replaced all lighting in the factory in December 2008 to high efficiency fluorescents,
saving energy.
• We use two high-volume low-speed fans in our assembly and drawer areas to keep
cool in summer and better distribute heat in winter.
• We continuously monitor heating / lighting / ventilation / compressor leaks to minimize
energy use.
• We continuously monitor steel scrap percentages, and work to decrease scrap, saving
energy and resources for steel production.
• We recently changed several of our larger motors to variable speed drives to save
electricity.
• We had window film installed on all exterior windows to save energy.
• Conference rooms and other areas of non-continuous occupancy have automatic light
switches.
• All of our HVAC equipment is kept on regular preventive maintenance to maximize
efficiency.
• We use Lista storage and workspace solutions to minimize space requirements, thus
saving in floor space and energy.
• Our steel products contain 27% post-consumer recycled content.
