Vision Quest Distributing, an exclusive distributor of Hüper Optik Window Film located in Sparks Nevada has entered into an agreement with Earth First Recycling to recycle all of our polystyrene core waste, pallets, cardboard, plastics, and e waste. Rob Oranges, the Business Development Manger for Vision Quest commented “We are really excited to have a local recycling facility that can handle our polystyrene cores, this has been a three year effort to keep these materials out of our landfills and we are thrilled to see it all come to fruition.”

Window film is an energy saving product that is applied to existing glass to increase its efficiency. It is typically rolled onto cores made of polystyrene and the challenge has always been ‘what do we do with the discarded cores?’ “Here we have a wonderful product that takes 16 times less embodied energy to produce than a replacement window. We can increase the efficiency of a window over 300% and at the same time keep plate glass out of landfills. Now we can complete the circle by recycling the cores.” states Oranges. “The next logical step is to move this out to our network of dealers and we are working hard to develop this program” he added.

Vision Quest Distributing will continue to build on this milestone by looking into ways it can lower its environmental impact by scrutinizing its product lines. The company has made a shift into developing more eco-friendly products such as the Edge Technologies line of anti-graffiti and sealant products are all water based and non-VOC. Passing down best practices to its customer base has always been a priority and the team at Vision Quest will continue to search out partnerships that can benefit its network in the movement to be more environmentally responsible.
