Mark Richey Woodworking (MRW) of Newburyport, MA has built a reputation as company of superior craftsmen of high-end architectural millwork products. Its wind turbine is highly visible to the surrounding community and those interested in energy efficient manufacturing have heard of the company’s other initiatives like the rooftop solar array and biomass boiler. The company has extensive experience on LEED certified projects and helps clients navigate green building requirements. Behind the scenes, MRW also takes steps to reduce its use of toxic chemicals, reduce waste, and improve worker safety. Since 2008, the company has purchased a solvent recycling unit, an ultrasonic spray gun cleaner, a robotic spray line, and prioritized the use of water based coatings to minimize the use and release to the environment of solvents and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The company has also implemented an aggressive program to reduce all types of waste from the facility.
