Omega Earns KCMA Environmental Stewardship Certification
Omega has earned their certification in the groundbreaking
Environmental Stewardship Program administered by the KCMA
(Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturer's Association). This program
was recently developed in 2006 and grants annual
certification to those manufacturers who meet a stringent
set of environmental criteria. The criteria are designed to
promote the sustainability of natural resources, reduce
waste, and to reward those companies who are going above and
beyond in their efforts to reduce environmental impacts. The
criteria is divided into the following five categories, all
of which Omega has demonstrated their compliance.
Air Quality: Manufacturers must demonstrate their use of low
formaldehyde containing raw materials. They must also
demonstrate compliance with all local and federal hazardous
air pollutants (HAPS) regulations.
Product Resource Management: Manufacturers must demonstrate
their use of recycled and sustainable products.
Process Resource Management: Manufacturers must have active
recycling and energy conservation programs in place.
Environmental Stewardship: Manufacturers must have a written
environmental policy, as well as environmental management
systems in place.
Community Relations: Manufacturer must demonstrate their
involvement with the community through service or charitable
organizations.
The KCMA ESP program provides kitchen cabinet manufacturers
with a viable method to measure their environmental
management practices against an industry standard. Omega
Cabinetry is proud to be part of a program that
authenticates their high level of commitment to the
environment and sustainability of natural resources.
