Trifecta Industries supplies packaging machines and eco-friendly housing to the Federal government and others. The eco-friendly homes are manufactured with as little impact on the environment as possible, receiving a 99% "green" rating. Parts are designed to be reused, as are the homes themselves. These custom homes use photovoltaic generation systems for energy. This process of converting sunlight to electricity completely powers the home with the solar panels from which the roof is constructed. In addition, innovative technology allows for the collection and storage of rainwater, maximizing the effective use of natural resources. The packaging machines are used by corporations such as Microsoft to send products to retailers and customers worldwide For more information, visit Trifecta's website: http://www.trifectaindustries.com/index.html |
