Waste Disposal

  • We properly dispose of spent paints, thinners, reducers, adhesives, and paint catalysts.

Internal Operations

  • ELRO Signs’ manufacturing operations work a 4 day week, nationwide, which reduces our in house energy consumption.
  • We use low VOC paint, to reduce hazardous emissions, while not sacrificing the quality and endurance of your sign finishes.
  • We use our manufacturing expertise to minimize waste and find ways to manufacture signs more energy efficiently and environmentally friendly.
  • Our exterior lights are on timers, not photocells, to reduce energy consumption.
  • We use recyclables wherever possible

Technology

  • New technologies lower energy consumption and increase sign life. LED lighting is now used in many of our illuminated letters. LEDs reduce energy consumption, last longer and reduce power plant pollution.
  • We use low VOC paint, to reduce hazardous emissions, while not sacrificing the quality and endurance of your sign finishes.
  • Electronic transformers and ballasts are much more energy efficient then their older counterparts and last longer.
  • T-8 lamps are being incorporated into our signs which, combined with electronic sign ballasts, save energy consumption, increase the light intensity, and are effective at accurate rendering of color.

Recycling

  • We do our best to recycle wherever possible and to use recyclable raw materials
  • ELRO Signs recycles metals, plastics, paint filters, rags, ballasts, transformers, and batteries.
