Environmental Awareness: Going Green for a Greater Future
Preparing for the future also includes a close look at Fruth’s environmental initiatives.
Six years ago the company established a green commitment to keep 100% of its industrial scrap out of landfills, the majority of which is recycled back into production. “Our scrap does not go into a landfill, or our groundwater or out into the sunlight where it would sit for 50 to 100 years,” says CEO Jim Fruth. “We’re putting an end to that.” The company has recycled more than 750,000 pounds of scrap annually in the past three years, a testament to Fruth’s green practices which align with core values of building a better future. It also helps drive recruiting and retention efforts. Fruth Custom Packaging has dedicated key stakeholders leading its environmental initiatives, which include installing 440 solar panels at the new cleanroom facility and developing experimental packaging films that will distribute products into Mid-Valley Central California as a pilot program.
