We’ve Always Been Green: Often people interested in log cabins are also drawn to environmental wellness.
Conestoga is likewise committed to environmental wellness and we demonstrate this commitment in our manufacturing methods.
It begins with Conestoga’s EverlastTM Log which is produced in concert with an Environmental Management System certified ISO-14001 assuring minimal environmental impact in timber harvesting. Our milling operations utilize cutting-edge fiber optimization software which nearly eliminates any material waste.
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 efficiency. What would require multiple pieces of equipment, Conestoga is accomplishing with one streamlined system.
Business investments like these contribute to our “GREEN” efforts and we are able to pass the savings along to our customers, like you!
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. We never use timber from natural resources.
