Visual Magnetics has taken an important ecological step by reducing our carbon footprint in our manufacturing process and in our close working relationship with Covanta Energy, who converts retired graphics made from Visual Magnetics\u2019 MagnaMedia\u00ae into reusable metal and\u00a0sustainable energy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Manufacturing For Sustainability<\/strong><br \/>\nVisual Magnetics\u2019 MagnaMedia is constructed\u00a0from polypropylene\u00a0or polyester films,\u00a0fabrics and cellulose\u00a0composites\u00a0then coated with our VM engineered and patented Micro-Iron\u00ae technology. Many MagnaMedia films are constructed from films made from 25-50% recycled plastic bottles and some fabrics are made from 100% post consumer polyester.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Energy From Waste (EfW)<\/strong><br \/>\nEnergy-from-waste is a process that shreds waste and feeds it through a system of three boilers, which then in turn produce steam that is used to power a turbine to generate electricity.\u00a0 The process employed by Covanta also includes the recovery of ferrous material prior to the waste being fed through the boilers.\u00a0 Any non-ferrous metals as well as ferrous material missed during the front end extraction process is later seperated from the ash by- product produced at WTE Recycling in Massachusetts.\u00a0 For every ton of retired graphics processed in a EfW process facility, almost one ton of Greenhouse Gas is avoided that would have been emitted during new steel production.\u00a0 Covanta facilities recover and recycle over 400,000 tons of ferrous metal annually, which is enough to build an estimated 300,000 hybrid cars each year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Take The Next Step<\/strong><br \/>\nWe need your help to create a cleaner world together.\u00a0 All Visual Magnetics\u2019 MagnaMedia are part of our Retired Graphics program.\u00a0 To participate in this environmentally responsible program, simply return your retired graphics to the following address, we take care of the rest.<\/p>\n<address>Visual Magnetics Retired Graphics Program<br \/>\n1 Emerson Street<br \/>\nMendon, MA 01756<br \/>\nUnited State of America<\/address>\n<p>All retired graphics returned to our facility will be delivered to Covanta Inc. where approximately 85% of MagnaMedia weight is recycled back into steel production and about 15% coverted into electricity.<\/p>\n<p>For additional information on Covanta Inc. visit their website at www.covantaenergy.com; Reference attached letter from Richard O\u2019Conner, Waste Manager of Covanta-SEMASS.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> <\/div>\n\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":13,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.visualmagnetics.com\/vm-graphic-system\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/60"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.visualmagnetics.com\/vm-graphic-system\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.visualmagnetics.com\/vm-graphic-system\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.visualmagnetics.com\/vm-graphic-system\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.visualmagnetics.com\/vm-graphic-system\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.visualmagnetics.com\/vm-graphic-system\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/60\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":452,"href":"https:\/\/www.visualmagnetics.com\/vm-graphic-system\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/60\/revisions\/452"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.visualmagnetics.com\/vm-graphic-system\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.visualmagnetics.com\/vm-graphic-system\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
