THE STARCRAFT ECOADVANTAGE IS OUR COMPANY'S COMMITMENT TO
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT. Through Starcraft’s company-wide
sustainability program, we're creating better ways to build better RVs using fewer
natural resources. Already, our initiative has created significant impact. As of April
2013, our company has:
Recycled
 6566 tons of wood
 2191 tons of scrap metal
 1,118 tons of cardboard and paper
Conserved
 7,827,330 gallons of fresh water, enough to meet the
daily needs of 104,360 Americans.
 26,837 gallons of gas, enough for Americans to drive
more than 750,400 miles.
 Enough electricity to power 1518 homes for a year.
Saved
 52,496 mature trees.
 Enough landfill airspace to meet the annual disposal
needs of a community of 40,061 people.
We're proud of our results, and we know those numbers show that a little
initiative can go a long way. The Starcraft EcoAdvantage is our way of making
sure endless generations can enjoy the Great Outdoors..
