How Miller's is reducing our carbon footprint and protecting the environment.

Wetlands at Miller’s facility

Facility

When we built a new distribution center in 2006, we donated eight of the eleven acres to Fairfax County as permanent wetlands.

Additionally we:

Checkmark Support and facilitate a program that urges carpooling by employees
whenever possible.
Promote careful regulation of internal temperature and water heater settings.
Promote turning off lights when they are not needed and have installed
skylights throughout the facility.

Delivery

Miller's uses low-emission diesel engines in all delivery trucks.

Additionally we:

Checkmark Follow delivery procedures and use route optimization software designed
to maximize distribution while reducing overall fuel consumption.
Support programs designed to encourage our customers to combine orders,
reducing the number of deliveries.
Use recycled and biodegradable packaging materials whenever possible.

Recycling

Our drivers pick up all empty toner and inkjet cartridges from our customers, without a return authorization, for recycling. We also pick up corrugated cardboard.

To make it easier for you to choose, Miller's catalog shows which products contain recycled material and which contain at least 30% post-consumer recycled content. We also offer 92 GE brightness, white, acid-free paper for copiers and printers that is made from 100% recycled, post-consumer content.
