However, Bridgeport Fittings is committed to the success of a LEED™ - recognized
project, and the requirements to use environmentally friendly and sustainable products. As such,
our in-house recycling process, waste management process, and overall energy consumption
reduction programs are defined below:
The term “recycling process” refers to scrap materials resulting from the manufacture of
zinc die-castings, steel stampings, and tooling. Zinc alloy runners, sprues, and unacceptable parts
are collected and specially blended with virgin zinc alloy to produce our furnace zinc alloy. Our
bi-weekly chemical analyses of our furnace zinc alloy melt, ensures that the Bridgeport pure
quality zinc standards are always achieved. We are reusing at least 95% to 100% of scrap zinc
alloy in the manufacture of our zinc die castings. In addition, all purchased, raw steel alloy is at
least 20% post-consumer content. The steel scrap resulting from our stamping and tooling
processes is recycled with our local scrap dealer.
Regarding our manufacturing operation in Stratford, CT, we have obtained and maintain
the proper operating permits, and have proper waste disposal processes and procedures in place
to make sure we are compliant with all current local, state, and federal environmental
regulations. In addition, Bridgeport Fittings does not use any Ozone Depleting Substances in the
manufacturing of its products. At least 98% of all products we make or sell can be completely
reclaimed back into their raw form. From steel, to zinc, to plastics, all can be re-processed to
make new products in the future. Lastly, Bridgeport’s Zinc, Steel, or Plastic products do not
release any harmful or prohibited substances while in normal use.
If interested in learning more about our environmental initiatives, upon request, we can
provide our Green Stewardship Statement which further defines our organization’s commitment
to improving our environment.
Please contact me directly if there are any questions regarding how Bridgeport Fittings
can help you meet or exceed LEED™ requirements.
