Their products are the best we have used thus far and allow our facilities to have a universal appearance and attractive aesthetic.

Flex-N-Gate Manufacturing Corporate Headquarters: Turning Waste Into Profit
“The amount of tonnage our waste vendors have taken to the landfill for our manufacturing facility has reduced significantly. That of course resulted in a decrease of cost to move it by our waste vendors—a cost savings. We used to pay to have a company pick up our waste paper products to recycle them. Now, we are getting paid for that paper. Same situation exists with plastic bottles. They are no longer being put in the trash nor are we paying to have them hauled off. Instead they are all being recycled. Damaged pallets are no longer being picked up by our pallet vendor, they are being recycled and we have turned them into added income. Lastly, we are being paid more for our cardboard/corrugated bundles than we were before. In all, our carbon footprint has decreased, our income has increased, and our headaches have been fewer. All because of the great work Green Purpose is doing for us right now. Their cooperation to adapt to our business environment has been refreshing. ”
