From the factory floor to the corporate mailroom, KI institutes the reduce, reuse, recycle philosophy. To reduce the use of packaging materials, KI has found alternative methods to safely ship and receive products to and from suppliers, end-users and other manufacturing locations. Utilization of reusable plastic totes, shrink-wrapping, blanket wrapping and racking of products has helped alleviate the amount of "box" materials used in the shipping process. To reduce waste sent to landfills, KI reuses materials such as wood pallets wherever possible and has partnered with suppliers to create new product transfer methods such as injection molded plastic skids (made from recycled plastic!) which can be reused over and over again. KI has also experimented with several adhesive products, which eliminate gases created in the packaging process.
