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.
