The environmental benefits of AMSOIL synthetic lubricants are well documented.
• Extended drain intervals reduce the amount of waste oil entering the supply stream
• Superior volatility resistance reduces oil consumption and air-pollution emissions
• Maximum fuel economy reduces fuel consumption and our dependency of foreign oil
However, our commitment to the environment extends beyond our products to our environmental management system, which is registered to the ISO 14001:2004 standard. For example, most of our packaging materials are obtained from responsible sources. Plastic containers are made of post-consumer resins, while cardboard boxes derive from the Sustainable Forestry Initiative, whose benefits dramatically reduce waste (see chart).
We partner with SmartWay® carriers to ship product as efficiently as possible, producing emissions-reduction results equivalent to taking 166 cars off the roads annually. This is accomplished by shipping more weight on every truck and using rail in the form of intermodal freight for long-distance shipments.
We also boast a rigorous recycling program throughout our corporate facilities, recycling the vast majority of materials, including cardboard, used drums, pallets, paper and more. Our recycling efforts are so effective, less than 10 percent of the waste the company generates ends up in a landfill. In fact, the entire 400,000 square foot AMSOIL Center in Superior, Wis., produces only one dumpster load of waste every six weeks. Accordingly, AMSOIL is one of a select few businesses in Superior and Douglas County to have met a set of environmental standards put forth by the Douglas County Recycling Office, earning
designation as a Count Me Green company.
Other examples of stewardship come in the form of using residual production oil to heat the AMSOIL Center, reducing energy costs. The Center also features a high-efficiency roof and state-of-the-art heating and cooling systems that further reduce energy use. We even converted a large section of asphalt parking lot at the AMSOIL Center to green space.
AMSOIL has always recognized that doing what’s right for the environment not only makes ecological sense, it also improves business. It’s one of the company’s founding principles and will remain so well into the future.
