Spotlight: California Case Center Repurposes Excess Case Foam

As part of its latest efforts to reduce waste and reuse material across Pelican, our California Case Center in Ontario, CA recycles the excess foam produced. This prevents the foam from being disposed of by means of incinerators or ending up in landfills and reduces Pelican’s carbon footprint.

PARTNER TESTIMONIAL

"Corporate partners are the backbone of our relief work. For More than four decades, we've relied on the generosity of businesses which step up and donate supplies when they are most critical for disaster relief in under-served, overlooked communities across our country and around the world. We are so grateful for the support of Pelican Products, which for many years has repeatedly provided OpUSA with stores of in-kind materials that are useful in disaster zones as communities begin to rebuild, recover and develope resiliency for future disasters. Without Pelican's ongoing donations and support, we would not be able to help children and families to the extent we do. We are so grateful to call Pelican a partner."

- Richard Walden, President & CEO of Operation USA

Our Future

Your future is our future, and we are committed to protecting it. We plan on focusing on sustainable product innovation, partnering with non-profits, improving energy efficiency & recycling efforts, reducing waste, and continuing to provide direct relief and product donations.

As we move forth we look forward to sharing our strategy & journey with you.
