In a world that's increasingly conscious of environmental impact, businesses across industries are embracing sustainable practices to minimize their ecological footprint. Jewelry manufacturing, often associated with luxury and elegance, is no exception. At JK Findings, we take pride in our commitment to sustainability, weaving eco-friendly practices into our rich history that spans over four decades.
Since our inception in 1975, JK Findings has evolved from a wholesale business of precious metal components to a global one-stop-shop for jewelry manufacturers, designers, and retailers. With a focus on quality, selection, service, and competitive pricing, we've become a trusted partner in the industry. Here’s how we prioritize sustainable practices in our manufacturing.
At JK Findings, we exclusively use Green Silver for our production processes, ensuring that all .925 silver items are nickel-free. Our commitment extends to environmental sustainability with a focus on waste prevention and management, clean air and water preservation, climate protection, and the conservation of the world's forests and biodiversity.
Waste Prevention and Management: A Comprehensive Approach
Our corporate recycling policy covers paper, cardboard, plastics, cans, and bottles. Beyond this, we responsibly handle printer cartridges, cell phones, and old computers through remanufacturing, reuse, and proper disposal. By using filtered drinking water systems and compact fluorescent light recycling, we aim to reduce waste and promote a healthier work environment.
Preserving Clean Air and Water: A Daily Commitment
Choosing non-toxic cleaning products, evaluating materials and chemicals for compliance, and investing in low-flow toilets and wastewater filtration, we actively contribute to preserving clean air and water. Our efforts result in wastewater chemical content well below government industrial discharge limits, reflecting our commitment to environmental responsibility.
Protecting the Climate: Energy Efficiency in Action
Our commitment to protecting the climate involves utilizing cool roof facilities, virtualization of servers, and installing high-efficiency HVAC systems. Energy-efficient lighting, smart-circuit power strips, and a focus on reducing overall energy consumption showcase our dedication to sustainable operations.
Conserving the World's Forests and Biodiversity: A Holistic Approach
Choosing Green Silver for production, going paperless in accounting, and promoting electronic communications throughout the company underscore our commitment to conserving the world's forests. From hand dryers in bathrooms to electronic invoices, we strive for maximum energy efficiency while minimizing our impact on biodiversity.
As we celebrate over four decades in the jewelry business, we are committed to leading-edge technology, innovation, and sustainability. At JK Findings, we don't just provide high-quality components and jewelry; we deliver a commitment to a greener, more responsible future for the jewelry industry and the planet.
