DriSteem Reduces Landfill Waste Via Metal Recycling

SEATTLE (Waste Advantage): DriSteem Corporation, a leading manufacturer of humidity control, evaporative cooling, and water treatment products, is committed to environmental initiatives aimed at significantly reducing metal waste. As part of the company’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, DriSteem has partnered with a scrap vendor to recycle unused steel, copper, and aluminum materials left over from product manufacturing.

This initiative ensures that DriSteem’s metal knockouts and cut-offs—byproducts of the manufacturing process—are collected and repurposed rather than ending up in landfills. The scrap vendor collects these unused metals on a regular basis, diverting tons of recyclable materials from waste streams and reintroducing them into the production cycle for other industries.

“At DriSteem, we are continuously seeking ways to operate more sustainably, and our metal recycling program is a significant part of that effort,” said David Pflum, President at DriSteem. “By working with our scrap vendor to recycle steel, copper, and aluminum byproducts, we’re not only keeping valuable resources out of landfills but also contributing to a circular economy.”

This initiative is an important addition to DriSteem’s broader sustainability efforts, which include the responsible sourcing of materials and reducing environmental impacts across all facets of the business. Recycling metals like steel, copper, and aluminum requires significantly less energy than producing new materials from raw ore, meaning that this initiative also helps to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

DriSteem’s proactive approach to recycling metal scraps demonstrates the company’s focus on environmental stewardship and corporate responsibility. In addition to its packaging and material recycling initiatives, DriSteem continues to explore innovative ways to reduce waste, improve energy efficiency, and promote sustainability across its operations.
