What We're Doing

Tentina Window Fashions is committed to making the world a better place to live by recycling and reducing waste. Here's an idea of what we're doing already:

Technology

• Our customer service call center is using terminals which use 80% less electricity than computers.
• Our commitment to going paperless with e-mailed invoices and statements.
• The Tentina Insight newsletter is sent via e-mail blasts instead of faxes or letters.

Recycling

• Tentina has always recycled our scrap metal.
• We are currently working with Hunter Douglas on the Everwood^® faux wood recycling program.

Infrastructure

• Tentina has recently installed an energy efficient roof in our factory. This greatly reduces the amount of fossil fuels it takes to heat the factory.
• Throughout the office, we have installed energy efficient light switches which have motion sensors that turn off when a room is empty.

People

• Cindy Gray collects recycled bottles and cans and donates the money to the Make a Wish Foundation.
• Tentina Window Fashions is making personal effort to recycle any e-waste* which is generated from our changing and upgraded technology.
