The term Ecological Footprint refers to a metric used to calculate the stress an entity places on the planet. As a company, Bishop Fixture & Millwork has taken an aggressive company-wide approach toward reducing its impact on the environment. Bishop recycles 98 percent of the materials that move through its facility and is committed to further reducing our footprint, as well as our clients. To achieve this Bishop will continue to team up with both local and national environmental organizations to grow its sustainable operations and green service offerings.

BISHOP'S ENVIRONMENTAL PRACTICES

Bishop has eliminated all heavy metals from its finishing products, all paint and metal shop waste is recycled into fuel, and the company's finishing process is operated under two air permits from the state of Wisconsin.

We recycle 98% to 99% of all materials that come in and out of our facility. Some examples of the materials that are recycled at Bishop include:
