INTERNAL INITIATIVES Waste Not
We reached a milestone in 2024 by diverting 106.52 tons of waste through our onsite waste reduction initiative, a program developed to recycle, repurpose or reuse our packaging and facility waste.
In late 2021 we conducted an internal waste audit to discover what we were sending to the landfill. Additionally, we reviewed our existing recycling efforts and their level of success. We discovered that the majority of our waste was due to supplier’s packaging that we receive with our shipments. While the packaging is necessary to protect the quality of our product, we set out to find solutions for each type of waste to bypass the landfill. Our program took off in 2022 with great success. We continue our work to educate and encourage our team to reduce, reuse and recycle all types of waste both at the office and at home.
