Conestoga is committed to environmental wellness and we demonstrate this commitment in our manufacturing methods.
It begin with Conestoga’s Everlast™ Log which is produced in accordance with ISO-14001 Environmental Management System standards. This assures minimal environmental impact in timber harvesting. Our milling operations utilize cutting-edge fiber optimization software which nearly eliminates any material waste.
Because We Care
As a conscientious manufacturer who cares about the planet and its precious resources, Conestoga is continually reviewing its manufacturing to ensure the lowest carbon footprint in the log home industry.
Technology improves efficiency…
Our machines are an in-line station-to-station that intelligently maximizes the material usage of each Conestoga Everlast™ Log.
When a cabin gets added to the production schedule, the log specifications are programmed by the engineering department and the machines are automatically optimized for less than 1% waste.
The notcher is one of many technologies used by Conestoga to minimize waste and improve energy efficiencies. What would require multiple pieces of equipment, Conestoga is accomplishing with one streamlined system.
How We Sustain Our Environment
All of the wood utilized to produce a Conestoga Log Cabin kit is attained using Sustainable Forestry Techniques. We only use timber from certified renewable forests, which means the trees were planted for timber purposes. Wenever use timber from natural forests.
What is Sustainable Forestry
Sustainable forest management has to keep the balance between three main pillars: ecological, economic and socio-cultural. Successfully achieving sustainable forest management will provide integrated benefits to all, ranging from safeguarding local livelihoods to protecting the biodiversity and ecosystems provided by forests, reducing rural poverty and mitigating some of the effects of climate change. -Wikipedia
