Iowa Prison Industries: Your Green Government Source
Modular Panel Systems:The Reality
• The State currently owns over 3,000 unused panels.
• Over a dozen different types of modular systems are currently installed in State Government, none of which are compatible with each other.
• It costs $400 per dumpster to dispose of unwanted modular panels and parts; these modular parts and pieces do not breakdown in landfills.
The Green Solution: Remanufactured Modular• IPI reuses the panel cores & repaints the
metal parts.• IPI recovers panels with fabric produced
from 100% recycled polyester.• IPI offender employees receive 2x the work
training vs. producing new panels.• Remanufactured costs less than new;
further savings available by standardizing laminates & fabrics.
