Below are some DCO Green manufacturing processes being practiced at our manufacturing plants:

  • We deal with approximately 300 Raw Material suppliers where a large component of our materials purchased are recycled vs. raw. Examples include recycled steel, aluminum coils and sheets, aluminum castings, corrugated, and extruded acrylic sheets.


  • The scrap material from our operation is recycled also:


    1. 1. Steel and aluminum
      2. Cardboard and paper
      3. Damaged pallets are repaired
      4. Waste oil
      5. All our Metal Halide and fluorescent bulbs that are captured for reuse.
  • Our facility is listed as a Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator of Hazardous Waste due to the low volumes of waste generated from our operations.


  • Our facility is also categorized as a minor source for air pollutants and no Title V Air Permit is required due to our low discharge volumes of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) and Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP).


  • TVA and MS Valley Gas assist us with more fuel efficient equipment purchase decisions.
