CWM’s 2024 Sustainability Journey: A Year of Progress and Excellence

At CWM, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a commitment. As a leading die cast company, we understand the significant impact our operations can have on the environment. That’s why, throughout 2024, we worked tirelessly to reduce waste, promote recycling, and operate in an eco-friendly manner. Our team has worked hard to implement innovative waste diversion practices; the results speak for themselves.

In 2024, CWM diverted 60,040 pounds of materials from landfills through our recycling efforts. This milestone reflects our dedication to sustainability and demonstrates how green initiatives can thrive. We’re excited to share how we’ve made a difference this year.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of the materials we recycled throughout the year:

  • Cardboard: 18,801 lbs.
  • Plastic: 2,541 lbs.
  • Paper: 949 lbs.
  • Wood: 21,385 lbs.
  • Mixed Recyclables (cans, bottles, plastic containers, paper): 8,226 lbs.
  • Styrofoam: 84 lbs.
  • Concrete: 2,500 lbs.
  • Electronics: 1,677 lbs.
  • Bulbs (pieces): 373 lbs.
  • Refractory: 604 lbs.

These materials represent the waste we’ve successfully diverted from the landfill, turning what would have been discarded into valuable resources for reuse. The volume of materials we recycled in 2024 highlights the profound impact of our efforts.

Looking Toward the Future: Continuing the Green Momentum

As we reflect on our achievements in 2024, we’re energized by our progress, but we’re not stopping here. CWM is always looking for ways to improve and evolve, striving to be a leader in sustainable manufacturing practices within the die-casting industry.

In 2025, we’re setting even higher recycling and sustainability goals, working to reduce waste further, increase recycling rates, and embrace greener technologies in our production processes. This will include expanding our partnerships with recycling organizations, adopting new waste reduction techniques, and continuing to engage our team in innovative green solutions.

By focusing on sustainable operations and recycling, we not only help protect the environment but also contribute to a healthier future for generations to come. CWM’s green initiatives are a testament to what is possible when businesses take responsibility for their environmental impact and work toward positive change.

Thank You to Our Team and Partners

None of this would be possible without the dedication and hard work of our incredible team and partners. Each employee plays a role in ensuring that we stay on track with our sustainability efforts, from sorting and processing materials to driving innovations in waste diversion. We also want to thank the recycling partners for working with us to process materials safely and efficiently.

As we look forward to another year of progress, we remain committed to our sustainability mission. Together, we can continue to make a significant impact—not just on our operations but on the world around us.

Here’s to a greener future, one pound of recycled material at a time!
