OPIE green loop

OPIE Man­u­fac­tur­ing Group is committed to re­spon­si­ble man­u­fac­tur­ing through sus­tain­able sourcing, efficient pro­duc­tion, recycling, lower-emission tech­nolo­gies and community en­gage­ment. Our approach is guided by a simple principle: Source sus­tain­ably. Produce re­spon­si­bly. Thrive together.

Our solar energy systems produce ap­prox­i­mate­ly 328,500 kWh of renewable elec­tric­i­ty per year, helping reduce our reliance on grid-supplied elec­tric­i­ty and sup­port­ing more sus­tain­able man­u­fac­tur­ing op­er­a­tions.

OPIE Man­u­fac­tur­ing Group recycles ap­prox­i­mate­ly 600,000 kg of metal each year. Recycling man­u­fac­tur­ing offcuts and other re­cy­clable metals helps reduce waste and keeps valuable materials in pro­duc­tive use.

OPIE Green Loop Recycling is our ini­tia­tive focused on creating a more circular approach to materials. It en­cour­ages materials generated through our man­u­fac­tur­ing ac­tiv­i­ties to be recovered, reused and recycled wherever practical rather than treated simply as waste.

Yes. We aim to source raw materials re­spon­si­bly and work with suppliers that support ap­pro­pri­ate en­vi­ron­men­tal and ethical practices. Sus­tain­abil­i­ty, quality, suit­abil­i­ty and re­spon­si­ble pro­cure­ment are important con­sid­er­a­tions within our supply chain.

Where ap­pro­pri­ate, we pri­ori­tise materials that are durable, re­cy­clable, renewable or capable of de­liv­er­ing a lower en­vi­ron­men­tal impact. As a metal man­u­fac­tur­er, material longevity and re­cy­cla­bil­i­ty are important parts of our approach to product design and pro­duc­tion.

We continue to adopt tech­nolo­gies, equipment and man­u­fac­tur­ing processes designed to improve ef­fi­cien­cy and reduce our en­vi­ron­men­tal footprint. This includes renewable energy gen­er­a­tion, recycling programs, efficient pro­duc­tion methods and in­vest­ment in modern man­u­fac­tur­ing tech­nol­o­gy.

Yes. OPIE uses low-voltage lighting as part of our broader efforts to improve energy ef­fi­cien­cy across our man­u­fac­tur­ing op­er­a­tions and fa­cil­i­ties.

It rep­re­sents the three in­ter­con­nect­ed areas of our sus­tain­abil­i­ty approach:

Source Sus­tain­ably means con­sid­er­ing en­vi­ron­men­tal and ethical factors when selecting materials and suppliers.

Produce Re­spon­si­bly means improving man­u­fac­tur­ing ef­fi­cien­cy, recycling materials, reducing waste and investing in tech­nolo­gies that can lower our en­vi­ron­men­tal impact.

Thrive Together recog­nis­es that long-term sus­tain­abil­i­ty also depends on strong employees, suppliers, customers, industry part­ner­ships and com­mu­ni­ties.
