NEWBURYPORT, Mass., May 2, 2018 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The recent addition of Mark Richey Woodworking\u2019s 500-kW solar array marks the company\u2019s place as one of the greenest architectural millwork firms in the U.S.<\/p>\n

\"Mark
\nMark Richey Woodworking (MRW) is a national model in manufacturing with the continual use of its 600-kilowatt wind turbine and solar array allowing the 130,000 square foot facility to operate entirely from renewable energy.<\/p>\n

Most recently, MRW received a state award as an industry champion for its exceptional efforts to reduce pollution. Its unique biomass furnace \u2013 which heats the entire shop – achieves a 73% reduction in solid and universal waste generation according to the Toxic Use Reduction Institute (TURI).<\/p>\n

One of the most unique aspects – and there are many – about the corporate culture of MRW is that Mark Richey sets the bar so high when it comes to sustainability that it is not unusual to find the accomplished mountaineer \u2013 who summited Mt. Everest in 1991 \u2013 comfortably situated at 290-feet above sea level cleaning the wind turbine himself.<\/p>\n

\"Mark
\nMark Richey and his wife Teresa founded MRW nearly 40 years ago and have always incorporated their renewable energy goals into its growth. Opening its doors for tours for school children and businesses reinforces the company\u2019s environmental commitment that has become a beacon for sustainable manufacturing.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf a small manufacturing company in Newburyport, Massachusetts can do this so can the larger companies. Our hope for youth is that when kids are my age, sustainable manufacturing will become the norm and not the exception,\u201d said Mark Richey.<\/p>\n
