Sustainability Stewardship

Innotec organized and participated in rejuvenating the Northside Pathway, a 1.5 mile stretch of wetland belonging to the Macatawa Greenway Partnership adjacent to our Roosevelt campus. This creates and drives employee awareness to the conditions of their natural surroundings and inspires them to seek similar opportunities within their own communities.

Innoblocks

For nearly twenty years, the Innotec team has been leading a stewardship project to innovate compressed stabilized earth blocks (CSEB) design and manufacturing to provide options for lower-cost building materials we named Innoblocks. CSEB uses minimal concrete and is thus a far less expensive option. The Innoblocks team has designed esthetically pleasing and functional earth blocks to build homes, walls, schools, and more. Innoblocks has partnered with Habitat for Humanity in Sri Lanka to build homes, continues to sell individual blocks in Sri Lanka, and is preparing for a school build in Nepal using our latest mobile equipment design. Our mobile equipment will be able to travel anywhere to support the use of CSEB for those in need.
