Businesses are under pressure to reduce waste, cut emissions and show measurable progress toward sustainability goals. At Commercial Zone, we’re committed to helping do just that—with durable, U.S.-made products that support circular design, lower shipping emissions and align with LEED priorities.

Sustainability is central to how we operate and innovate. From the products we design to how we manufacture and ship them, we’re committed to offering environmentally-friendly solutions that help our customers meet their green initiatives without sacrificing performance or aesthetics.

Many of our receptacles are made using at least 25% recycled materials, helping reduce environmental impact across the product lifecycle. By focusing on durable, low-maintenance materials, we help customers cut down on replacement cycles and lower operational costs. Our products are engineered for maximum lifespan, so fewer end up in landfills—delivering sustainability through thoughtful design and construction that meets higher environmental standards. Here are three ways Commercial Zone makes the world a little cleaner and greener every day.

1. Sustainable Products with Built-In Performance

Receptacles alone are sustainable by reducing litter, encouraging recycling and keeping waste out of waterways. Some receptacles offer even more sustainability. Two of our most eco-friendly products are the Woodview™ Series and the Avante™ Series. Woodview Series trash and recycling receptacles are made from high-grade recycled plastic lumber and are designed for long-term durability in a wide range of environments. The Avante Series features streamlined, modern designs that balance functionality with aesthetics.

Both collections are durable, low-maintenance and engineered for high-traffic indoor and outdoor use—helping reduce the need for frequent replacements and the waste that comes with them. All Commercial Zone products are 100% recyclable after use.

2. Made in the USA. Smarter for the Planet.

Research shows that 2/3 of Americans seek out products that are made in the U.S. Many Commercial Zone products are manufactured in the United States, which supports local economies and helps reduce long-haul freight emissions. Domestic production also allows for greater control over material sourcing, supply chain reliability and product quality—key advantages for sustainability-focused procurement. All products are packaged carefully to reduce the overall number of boxes and shipping containers are made using recycled materials.

3. A Company-Wide Commitment

We don’t stop at sustainable products. Commercial Zone prioritizes responsible sourcing, clean manufacturing practices and materials that meet or exceed environmental standards. Sustainability is woven into our culture, our process and our promise to customers. We also recognize that for our customers, sustainability needs to align with business goals.

Our products are designed to support LEED building strategies, reduce operational waste and meet requirements for environmentally preferred purchasing.

From concept to delivery, Commercial Zone is committed to shaping a more sustainable future. By designing smarter, sourcing locally and investing in durability, we help organizations of all kinds reduce waste and make a lasting environmental impact—without compromising design or functionality.
