Aurora, Colo. -- Bona announced that it has achieved zero waste at its manufacturing facility in Monroe, N.C. Less than one percent of companies in North Carolina can make this claim. Additionally, this month Bona opened a new distribution facility in Limburg, Germany with a host of sustainable and environmentally-focused features.
By working with partners and internal protocols, all materials at the Bona facility in Monroe will be recycled, repurposed, or reused as of December 2017. This includes waste water, paper, plastic, and any hazardous material that may result from the manufacturing of Bona products. As an ISO14001 facility, these practices are also verified by outside sources to validate the zero waste claim. Bona has also installed new lighting, motor controllers, and optimized heating and cooling systems to significantly decrease the building’s environmental footprint over the past few years. Since 2015 the Monroe facility has reduced its water usage by several thousand gallons annually.
