Saving Our Environment

Planter 2

Carapace Rock Science, Inc. is committed to using the most environmentally conscious methods possible in all aspects of the business. Some examples towards these efforts are:

All water used in the course of production is either used in the process of making concrete or is collected, contained and reused in the next day’s production. This recycling and reuse completely eliminates any potential runoff into Florida's delicate aquatic ecosystem. Carapace Rock Science considers this just part of our fiduciary responsibility to our community and the environment.
The cardboard and other cushioning materials used for packing and shipping orders is all material that was slated to be thrown away. It is regularly collected from local businesses who don't have a recycling program, which reduces the impact on our local landfills. After deliveries, packing materials are collected, brought back to the production facility and reused again.
Nearly all of Carapace's lighting needs are supplied by natural sunlight during the day, even inside the production facility and office. When needed, electric lights have all been upgraded to high energy efficient lighting.
Carapace Rock Science refrains from using harsh chemicals and solvents whenever possible, and focuses on the use of environmentally friendly alternatives. Regardless, all such items are controlled, monitored and disposed of properly.
Carapace Rock Science uses only concrete pigments derived from natural sources, primarily iron oxide.
In addition, the Carapace manufacturing process has been streamlined to a point of efficiency where one week’s worth of production results in approximately 1 cubic foot of unusable waste, comprised primarily of residual sand and dust.
