At Chameleon we take our commitment to the environment seriously. We work with
recycled brass and packing materials including biodegradable peanuts. The
plating facilities we use are U.S. EPA and OSHA compliant and endorse the
application of Zero Discharge Recovery plating systems which recycle water and
don’t release toxins into the sewer system and ultimately into the drinking
table. We have a wide assortment of fixtures that beautifully accommodate
Compact Fluorescent (CFL) and Light Emitting Diode (LED) lamping for your energy
efficient goals. We believe style and energy efficiency can go hand in hand.
But our greatest contribution to the green initiative is our commitment to
manufacturing a quality product. The concept of planned obsolescence inherent in
most consumer products, in aggregate and over the course of time, is a
significant contributor to global emissions. We choose to protect the
environment by manufacturing quality products that stand the test of time enough
that one day, they themselves will be considered desirable antiques. When
compared to consumer grade fixtures that require multiple replacements over
time, a quality product, by virtue of its timelessness, naturally has a much
smaller impact on the environment; it’s only manufactured once and consumes only
that finite amount of raw materials, power and resources required for its
production. And by extension, acquiring fixtures that are currently antiques
impacts the environment even less. They are the ultimate in green since they
already exist and considering they have already stood the test of time, if
properly cared for they will certainly be around for another era and will never
have to be remanufactured. By providing you quality new fixtures and well
preserved antique fixtures, we can all significantly reduce our impact on the
environment and enjoy beautiful surroundings at the same time. It’s a win-win
for everyone and Chameleon is proud to be a part of it. |
