"It's not enough just to produce better products. We have
to produce products better. It's a job that never ends."
Tom Waters
Quality Control Manager and ECO·Built Advocate for The Eagle Group Go Green. Go ECO·Built by Eagle.
Eco-Built is how we at Eagle describe our efforts to
manufacture our products in an environmentally conscious way, the same way our customers are focusing their attention on their environmental impact. It's an ongoing commitment to incremental improvements in our manufacturing processes and facilities to conserve materials and energy while reducing emissions. Eco-Built is also a process. It's how we at Eagle set goals for significant reductions in energy consumption,
materials usage, and emissions, then create plans to meet those goals. Along the way, we continually
monitor progress and continue to push the ball forward. Eco-Built doesn’t hinder product development
or force compromises. To the contrary, ECO-Built helps us make our products better.

"For us, waste is not an option. Whatever we use is recycled. Whatever we don’t use is recycled again."
ECO·Built in action.
Eco-Built in action means the elimination of
the annealing process to draw deep sink bowls,
a single action that resulted in annual reductions
of 1,230 megawatt hours of electricity, 12.7
million cubic feet of hydrogen (consumed and
emitted), 42.4 million cubic feet of nitrogen
(consumed and emitted), and 10 million gallons
of water consumed. It means investing a half
million dollars on a new energy-reflective white
roof on the Eagle plant. It means finding an
alternative to vapor degreasing, thus eliminating
the vapor emissions and disposal of 500 gallons
of trichloroethylene annually. Eco-Built in action
even means reducing water consumption with
waterless urinals.
ECO·Built is an important part of The Eagle Advantage
The numbers don’t lie. Eagle’s efforts to consume less, emit less and conserve more are beginning to bear fruit. The tree to the left shows just some
of what we now accomplish each year.

The advantages may be
invisible. But when you see
the tag you’ll know the
product you purchase has
been produced in the Eagle
plant, under the principles
that drive the Eco-Built
program. For restaurants and
other institutions concerned
about meeting their own
green standards, buying
Eco-Built is simply the right
thing to do.
