Sustainability

Peter Pepper Products has made environmental awareness a vital part of our business. Our mission is to meet our customers’ expectations for high-design, high-quality, durable products, which also helps them meet their sustainable goals. Peter Pepper Products is committed to working towards and promoting buildings that are environmentally responsible, profitable and healthy places to live and work, while maintaining our responsibility to preserve our natural resources.

Peter Pepper Products are designed and engineered to live long, useful lives in interior and exterior environments. Most products are designed to allow for easily replaced parts. Our long-lasting, high-quality products, with low maintenance goals, translate into a more effective use of the earth’s resources. We use pre and post-consumer recycled materials, adopt environmentally sustainable processes and manufacture many products that are, themselves, recyclable or have recyclable components. We also implement our own energy efficient building solutions within our facilities, including the use of energy efficient lighting.
