Environmental Policy

Hauser has built a legacy on casual outdoor living. In doing so, we have always been cognizant of our shared planet’s biosphere. Hauser is one of the first companies to promote large scale recycling programs to public facilities.

We have always maintained a zero waste management strategy: What is not used or re-used through the manufacturing process is recycled adhering to Hauser’s strict environmental mandate.

Hauser’s Canadian manufacturing facilities utilize powder coat technology and hot melt glues which both emit zero VOC’s. The powder coat finishing process contains and reuses all powder coat overspray.  All Hauser finishes are 100% VOC free.

Hauser has traditionally been a metal fabricating company

– all of our metal products contain a minimum of 60-100% recycled material.

Hauser is a Canadian manufacturer, and as such, we are happy to follow or exceed the more stringent Canadian environmental policy. Typically and whenever possible, we source all raw materials from local suppliers.

Hauser utilizes only sustained growth paper for all printed literature and requires a minimum default of 20% recycled content in all other acid free paperstocks. All of our paper office waste is recycled.
