Our goal is to operate in a sustainable manner that will preserve the environment for generations to come.

Recycle

   •  Reuse all hangers until damaged at which point
      they are recycled.

   •  Internal documents are printed on scrap paper.

   •  Direct sale shipments are sent in cardboard boxes
      received from our vendors and shipped with a “Green”
      sticker that encourages everyone to recycle.

   •  Gallagher Uniform recently began donating discarded
      garments to Goodwill Industries of Central Michigan’s
      Heartland. Each week hundreds of pounds of clothing
      are now either being sold at a Goodwill retail store
      or cut up for scrap. The revenue generated by Goodwill
      from this donation will help offset the costs they incur
      in other areas of their business.

Reuse

   •  Installed a Shaker Screen to automatically remove
      any suspended solids from our waste water to
      reduce TSS levels.

   •  Hot water reclaim/reuse system has recently been improved.

   •  Worked with a local high school intern to measure
      and monitor our energy consumption at all points
      in our facility.

Conserve

   •  Launched “G-Trak on the Go” – handheld computers
      that result in electronic, paperless invoicing.

   •  Invested in a new steam tunnel to reduce our
      natural gas consumption.

   •  Boiler improvements reduced run time by 26%,
      saving gas, water & emissions.

   •  Switched to EnviroMax Detergent - a biodegradable
      compact formula void of free water, reducing
      packaging needs.

   •  Installed 2 solar tube lights in the plant that allow
      us to turn off 7 fluorescent fixtures.
