The Phelps Green Initiative

Taking care of our environment and participating in conservation, even in small ways, benefits all of us. Phelps takes great pride in protecting our clean air and water and we work to limit pollution. Simple actions in our day to day lives add up to make a big difference: recycling, using less electricity, and not wasting fuel are a few examples. Using “Phelps Green Initiative” for our homes and businesses is another way to make an impact in the world.

We at Phelps Uniform take pride in all of the strides we have made along the way to be a green, ecologically friendly company. We have been evaluating our business practices and are now taking “Phelps Green Initiative” to a new level.
