ShelterLogic Group:
Community and Environment Initiatives

ShelterLogic Group is dedicated to serving the community and exploring more environmentally conscious manufacturing processes.

At the center of what we do, is a commitment to bringing our customers exceptional products that make their lives easier, and are made ethically and responsibly. In addition to working to improve our manufacturing process and reduce our carbon footprint, we’re also working to give back to our local communities through philanthropic initiatives each year. Discover how we’re helping our local communities and reducing our environment impact.

Green Initiatives

At ShelterLogic Group, we do more than create great outdoor products for our customers: we’re keeping efficiency and a commitment to our environment at the heart of our manufacturing process. Over the years we’ve changed the way we make our products by reducing emissions in some of our factories, converting and reusing energy, and treating water so it can be recycled. Discover how we’re keeping the environment in mind as we manufacture products in the 21st century.

Environmental Stewardship Award

In 2011, we were awarded the Environment Stewardship Award by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection for our outstanding contribution to the local community, and our commitment to sustainability in our manufacturing process.

Clean Air Commitment

Our New Jersey manufacturing facility uses an RTO Process – Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer – to clean air post treatment and painting. This intense air filtration process removes toxic VOC’s (volatile organic compounds) that are harmful to our atmosphere and runs this air through high temperatures. The result? 98.7% of all harmful VOC’s are eliminated as air leaves the RTO exhaust system.
98.7% of all harmful VOC’s are eliminated for air that’s cleaner – better for your health, and better for the environment.

We Run On Recycled Energy

Our New Jersey facility requires minimum natural gas to operate and uses high efficiency electrical motors to reduce electrical consumption. A portion of our manufacturing facility also runs on a steam to liquid heat exchange to operate. Before releasing exhaust into the atmosphere, our exhaust stack heat is converted to low-pressure steam that generates heat that is then used to operate equipment throughout the plant.

We Have Our Own On-Site Waste Water Treatment Plant

We clean and reuse the water we use to manufacture our products. All water discharged to our local sewage authority has been thoroughly treated and neutralized to stay within the EPA and DEP’s strict parameters.

Recycling Programs

When we can, ShelterLogic Group is committed to reusing, reducing and recycling. Our facilities have embraced recycling programs for metal, fabric, steel, cardboard, solvents and water in effort to reduce overall waste.

Leveraging Solar Power and Reducing Energy Consumption

As part of our renewable energy initiative, many ShelterLogic Group facilities embraced solar power and renewable energies to run parts of manufacturing and day to day operations. In addition, all facilities switched to LED in an effort to reduce energy consumption and eliminate the use of more traditional, higher polluting forms of energy.

Beyond DEP and EPA Compliance

ShelterLogic Group’s Arrow Storage Products division is proud to be the only steel shed manufacturer in the United States to go beyond DEP (Department of Environmental Protection) and EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) compliance, voluntarily integrating extensive environmentally conscious practices into manufacturing each and every one of our products.

Social Responsibility

Each year, ShelterLogic Group takes part in programs and initiatives that support and assist our local communities. From donating to local shelters, to raising money for causes that matter to us. We know that when our communities thrive, so does our business.
