Waste Reduction

Wire and cable management products from Legrand/Wiremold contribute to LEED materials credits for recycled content and may contribute to credits for local and regional materials sourcing. These systems are also manufactured and packaged so as to reduce construction waste. For more than 15 years, Legrand/Wiremold has been a pioneer in "lean manufacturing," which eliminates waste.

 

Many Wiremold products, such as prewired raceway, are made to order and cut to length in the factory, so there is typically very little construction waste from onsite fabrication. Reduced and bulk packaging also reduces waste. For project sites within a 500-mile radius of the Legrand/Wiremold manufacturing facility in West Hartford, Conn. the value of the Wiremold product may be used in calculating the total value of local/regional materials in the project.
