Sustainability & Environmental Efforts
At Ongweoweh, we prioritize sustainability because we believe that what’s best for the environment is ultimately beneficial for long-term business relationships. Our initiatives focus on cost-saving recycling and waste management, including:
- Recycling pallets to maximize inventory and ensure timely access to resources.
- Diverting end-of-life materials such as pallets, wood-based products, corrugate, and packaging to secondary markets (e.g., mulch, biofuel).
These efforts help customers save an average of 20% on commercial waste disposal fees.
