Rochester Silver Works

RSW’s efforts avoid discards of millions of pounds of plastics and precious metals to landfills each year. Instead, over 95% of plastic and 99.9% of silver bearing materials received at RSW are re-worked and re-used as raw materials for new products. Most materials to RSW are processed and forwarded for use in approximately 30 days. RSW also applies a stringent manufacturing code of conduct that ensures production personnel safety and operational excellence.

We also seek to conduct our business in a way that minimizes any negative impact on the natural environment. Environmental responsibility is integrated into our strategic planning, management systems and day-to-day operations. Key environmental parameters are routinely monitored by state and federal authorities.
