At Pelican Wire, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a core value that drives our operations and community engagement. As a proud employee-owned company, we recognize our responsibility to minimize the environmental impact on our local community, while also delivering high-quality wire solutions across various industries from our Southwest Florida home.
Spool Recycling: A Commitment to Circular Economy
We actively participate in spool recycling programs, ensuring our wooden and plastic spools are repurposed or returned for reuse. This initiative not only reduces waste but also supports a circular economy, aligning with our dedication to environmental stewardship, in partnership with like-minded suppliers.
Scrap Recycling: Transforming Waste into Resources
Our commitment extends to comprehensive scrap recycling practices. By diligently collecting and working with scrap processors who strip the wire and separately recycle both the alloy and the outer insulation, we drastically minimize landfill contributions and recover valuable metals, contributing to additional resource conservation and energy savings.
Utilization of Reprocessed Materials: Sustainable Manufacturing Practices
Wherever feasible, we incorporate reprocessed materials into our manufacturing processes. This approach reduces the demand for virgin resources, lowers energy consumption, and decreases greenhouse gas emissions, all while maintaining the high standards of quality our clients expect, with no impact on the final product.
Recognition for Environmental Efforts
In acknowledgment of our local Recycling efforts & documented sustainable practices, Pelican Wire was honored with the “Business of the Month” award by the Collier County Board of Commissioners in 2018. This recognition underscores our ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility and community engagement.
Looking Ahead
As we continue to innovate and grow, Pelican Wire remains steadfast in our dedication to sustainability. By integrating recycling initiatives and sustainable practices into our operations, we aim to lead by example and inspire others in the manufacturing sector to prioritize environmental stewardship.
