PMU's Commitment to Environmental stewardship
Pipe Makers Union is founded on a philosophy of sustainability for our planet, our company, and our products. This is supported with three covenants:
Zero
Waste
PMU
strives to cast or mold products in their final shapes. We will not
release a product that
requires more than 3% material removal. In
contrast, our deforesting brethren start with a block of wood of which
97% is
left on the floor as sawdust or shavings.
Permanence
PMU
makes
products
that are
designed to play forever, with normal and abnormal use. We always
strive to create instruments that
will withstand all the seasons our planet has to offer by using careful
criteria in our selection of materials. Our instruments are crafted to
last for our own and future generations.
Trees
PMU's
signature material
Carbony requires no tree to be cut and no inherent carbon emissions.
Carbony is a minimum resin content carbon fiber material. Its
processing not only increases fiber density but
minimizes
petroleum content.
