While our thresholds are made from high-performance HDPE for durability, we ensure that all manufacturing drops and scraps are recycled, minimizing environmental impact.
Everlast Thresholds: A Sustainable Choice
At Everlast Thresholds, sustainability is at the core of our mission. Our thresholds are crafted using high-quality High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), a durable and environmentally stable material. While our products are made from high-quality HDPE to ensure optimal performance, we are committed to sustainability by recycling all production scraps and offcuts back into the manufacturing process. By choosing Everlast Thresholds, you are investing in a long-lasting product designed with environmental responsibility in mind.
What is HDPE?
High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is a strong, lightweight, and environmentally stable plastic derived from petroleum. It is widely recognized as one of the most sustainable materials in manufacturing due to its ability to be continuously recycled without losing its structural integrity. HDPE is commonly used to make everyday items such as milk jugs, detergent bottles, and shampoo containers. When recycled, it is transformed into products like composite lumber, decking, and, of course, Everlast Thresholds.
Recycling HDPE in Your Community
One of the many advantages of HDPE is its ability to be recycled repeatedly. At the end of its life cycle, your Everlast Threshold can be recycled, ensuring minimal environmental impact. To recycle HDPE products in your area, check with local recycling centers, municipal waste programs, or national organizations such as:
- Earth911 (earth911.com) – Find local recycling centers by entering your ZIP code.
- How2Recycle (how2recycle.info) – A standardized labeling system to help consumers understand recycling options.
- Your City's Waste Management Services – Many cities offer curbside recycling or drop-off locations for HDPE materials.
The Bigger Picture
Each year, millions of recycled plastic containers contribute to HDPE-based products, helping to keep plastic waste out of landfills and oceans. By choosing Everlast Thresholds, you become part of this sustainable movement, ensuring that durable, eco-friendly building materials continue to replace wasteful alternatives.
Make a Difference with Everlast Thresholds
Sustainability isn't just about choosing the right materials—it’s about making informed decisions that positively impact our planet. Whether you're a facility manager, architect, or homeowner, opting for HDPE thresholds means embracing innovation, durability, and environmental responsibility.
Why is HDPE Sustainable?
Waste Reduction
Highly Durable
HDPE has an exceptional strength-to-density ratio, making it resistant to warping, splintering, and environmental wear and tear.
