LMG supports environmental awareness by encouraging recycling and waste management in its business practices and operating procedures. This support includes a commitment to the purchase, use, and disposal of products and materials in a manner that will best utilize natural resources and minimize any negative impact on the Earth’s environment.
As part of this program, LMG has entered into a national contract with Earth Protection Service Inc (EPSI) for the recycling of electronics and hazardous waste associated with products that are common in our industry. This includes reclaiming the heavy metals, most notably mercury and lead, found in entertainment lamps and other electronic equipment. EPSI ensures to the fullest extent, that practical materials are converted into reusable commodities and not land-filled. Electronics are completely recycled into their component parts which are then sold to re-processors who have certified adherence to United States export control regulations and restrictions.
In addition, LMG is implementing project-based recycling efforts. These efforts include reclaiming spent and used materials (i.e. batteries, lamps and other materials) back to one of our warehouses for the most effective recycling use. LMG has also launched an internal green program within each of our office locations with an established “green team” committed to a continual cycle of planning, implementing, reviewing, and improving our processes and actions to meet business needs, while being environmentally responsible.
LMG is also promoting the use of energy efficient technologies (such as LED) in the production of live events to reduce energy waste while using a longer lasting technology.
LMG’s lighting department is making ongoing investments in LED based entertainment lighting. These types of instruments have a longer lamp life, do not use limited life plastic ‘Gel’ for color effects, and due to their inherent color change, allow the use of fewer instruments on a given show. We encourage the use of LED at every opportunity.
