Environmental Responsibility
South Coast Fasteners works to limit the environmental footprint of industrial distribution at every step, from how we source and package Fasteners and PPE to how we move freight and handle waste. Responsible operations are part of how we run the business, not a separate initiative, and they help our customers meet their own sustainability goals.
Nitrile Glove Recycling
Disposable Nitrile Gloves are a daily consumable across manufacturing, medical, and laboratory work, and most end up in the landfill. We support glove recycling that diverts used nitrile from disposal and reprocesses it into new materials such as tubing, flooring, and other durable goods. Customers who go through high volumes of disposable gloves can keep a recyclable waste stream out of the trash and put it back into productive use.
Reducing Emissions
Freight is the largest piece of a distributor's carbon footprint, so we plan shipments to cut waste out of the supply chain. Consolidated orders, full cartons, and efficient routing through our Nationwide Shipping Network mean fewer partial loads and fewer trucks on the road for the same volume of product. Local customers can lower transportation impact further by using Will Call Pickup at our Anaheim headquarters.
Sustainable Business Practices
Durable products are their own form of sustainability. The grade-rated Bolts, corrosion-resistant finishes, and quality Hand Tools we stock are built to last, which means fewer failures, fewer replacements, and less material sent to waste over the life of a job. Inside our own operations we work to reduce packaging, reuse shipping materials where we can, and keep records digital to limit paper waste.
A Shared Responsibility
Lowering environmental impact is an ongoing effort that we share with our suppliers and customers. If your organization has specific sustainability requirements or wants to set up glove recycling, Contact Us and we will help put the right program in place.
