Durakon Industries, manufacturer of the top selling drop-in bedliner for trucks and a leading brand of truck tonneau covers, is now setting a new standard in “GREEN” corporate initiatives to ensure a healthier, more sustainable world. In addition to their corporate iniatives to conserve energy, reclaim used water, and build wetlands at their headquarters in Lapeer, the company is now proud to announce that both Duraliner® and All Star® bedliners are manufactured with almost 100% recycled and recyclable material. This new “green-focused” manufacturing process of their main product line will greatly reduce landfill waste without any loss to the product’s high standards of quality or durability. It is an eco friendly approach to manufacturing that reduces the use of fossil fuels used in the production of virgin plastics.

The reclamation of HDPE plastic, the common material used to manufacture all bedliners, will have a significant impact over time. In a short period of time, it is estimated that Durakon will have prevented 150,000 lbs. of bedliners from entering landfills, greatly reducing carbon emissions in the process.  www.durakon.com
