Green Initiative
Since our first foray into the media blasting business, we have been concerned about environmental impact. Back in 2006, we started in this business using environmentally-friendly baking soda for our first blasting jobs. That’s right, pure baking soda like you would bake a cake with!
Since starting with baking soda, Billings Media Blasting has continued to use environmentally-friendly products and employ environmentally-friendly techniques.
As an environmentally-friendly alternative for baking soda, we use crushed walnut shells, a product recycled by the walnut growers of California. In our cabinet blasting and blast booth projects, we employ plastic media which is produced from recycled plastic AND can be recycled multiple times, reducing end waste. Additionally, we have another cabinet and blast booth which allows us to re-use garnet for abrasive applications. Billings Media Blasting plans on continuing its green initiative to better care for the earth!
