Current Year Reduction Actions
01
What We’re Reducing
We will reduce the emissions from our 13 Handpainted Skutt kilns
How We'll Reduce It
We will install a new Blaauw kiln that is 50% more efficient. We estimate our Handpainting kilns consume 30% of our factory emissions, so this should help reduce our overall emissions by up to 15%.
02
What We’re Reducing
We will create an onsite micro grid to better manage our electricity usage.
