Corporate Responsibility

Upwardor^® recognizes the growing awareness for manufacturing products that are energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.  As a company, we strive to offer “GREEN” products that incorporate recycled content. 

STEEL:
Steel makes up the majority of the components used to manufacture our garage doors.  The steel we use is made up of approximately 50% recycled content.  Our steel supplier also participates and is part of LEED^® Product Compliance Canada.
INSULATION: 
Polyurethane foam insulation comprises the second major component of our garage doors, allowing us to achieve a high R-value and providing consumers with an energy-efficient product.  Our polyurethane foam insulation is 100% CFC free and contains Zero ODP (ozone depleting potential).
ALUMINUM:
Aluminum material is used to manufacture full view sections and full view doors.  Our painted and milled extrusions contain 20% recycled content.
PACKAGING:
The packaging of our products provides protection during handling and shipping.  Our goal is to use enough packaging material to protect our product, without excess waste. 
The corrugated board used to protect our product is made of 100% recycled content.
