At Zeon, we believe that protecting the environment and reducing waste should be a high priority for any socially responsible organization. Sustainability: a key element in our long term planning. Our sustainability support efforts include our recently launched Recover & Reuse program, implementing metal skids for delivery of our products. This new method of product distribution eliminates the need for wood pallets and cardboard packaging, helping reduce landfill discard.
