Sustainability

Environment

Input Waste Reduction
  • AceCo makes an honest commitment to reducing our impact on the environment by reducing inputs such as water, electricity, and natural gas.
    • Xeriscaping of repair facilities at 800 W. Diamond St. in Boise, ID, 50% completed in 2011
    • De-ionized (DI) water recycling plant at our 2095 S. Gekeler Ln. facility in Boise, ID, saves hundreds of thousands of gallons of water per year
    • Roadmap for Continuous Improvement created annually and graded for performance against schedule and goals (PAS/PAG)
Output Waste Management
  • Machining Chips Recycling - largest recycler of aluminum chips in the state of Idaho
  • Water - AceCo is working with local government entities to monitor constituents in our waste water to ensure compliance and reduce the need to haul water by truck to wastewater facilities, further lessening our environmental impact
Re-use and Recycling
  • Wood Products: All crates and pallets are sent to local fiber reclaim facility
  • Consumer Packaging: Aluminum, plastics, and paper products – recycling containers in offices and break areas
  • Shipping Containers: Re-use shipping containers and packing materials when possible. AceCo also offers solutions for permanent protective containers for items which return to AceCo for repair as part of our on-going commitment to reduce waste

Community

At AceCo we strive to give back. As a company we participate in several community initiatives each year and realize that supporting the community we live in enhances the lives of others as much as it does ours.
