Crafting with Care for the Environment
Wood-Mode has been committed to environmental sustainability long before “green” became a popular trend. This dedication to eco-friendly practices stands at the core of the company’s values. Wood-Mode’s approach to sustainability includes significant investments in solar power, energy-efficient manufacturing, and low-waste product development.
“The Wood-Mode legacy was built with great respect for the environment,” says Rod Hunter, general manager. “We’ve amplified that belief to meet—and in some cases exceed—today’s standards for energy-efficient manufacturing. Our enhancements have reduced emissions, conserved resources, and lowered operational costs, which also translates into fair pricing for our customers.”
Key sustainability initiatives include:
Solar-Powered Factory Operations: Two massive solar arrays, including a ground-mounted array and a 3-megawatt rooftop array, now power 80% of Wood-Mode’s manufacturing facility.
Energy-Efficient HVAC Systems: Cutting-edge systems reduce energy consumption throughout the factory.
High-Yield Production Equipment: Advanced machinery minimizes waste during the production process.
Sustainable Craftsmanship: Eco-conscious practices in material sourcing and manufacturing ensure long-lasting, environmentally responsible products.
A particularly innovative initiative is the implementation of solar grazing, in which Wood-Mode partners with local farmers to allow sheep to graze in the solar fields. This practice eliminates the need for gas-powered mowers, reducing emissions and maintaining the land naturally. In partnership with Reese Family Farm, 35 sheep now graze under the solar panels, promoting a sustainable ecosystem.
Wood-Mode’s dedication to environmental responsibility is recognized by the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association (KCMA) through its Environmental Stewardship Program (ESP) certification. These initiatives position Wood-Mode as a leader in the luxury custom kitchen cabinetry industry, crafting products that enhance homes while protecting the planet.
