INTERNAL INITIATIVES
Waste Reduction Initiative
In late 2021 we conducted an internal waste audit to understand what we were sending to
the landfill. Additionally, we reviewed our existing recycling efforts and their level of
success. We discovered the majority of our waste was supplier's packaging that we were
receiving with our shipments. While the packaging is necessary to protect the quality of our
product, we set out to find specific solutions for each type of waste that wasn't simply "add
it to the landfill. Our program took off in 2022 with great success.
We continued to reduce impacts in 2025 by reaching a grand total of 172.15 tons of
diverted waste through our onsite waste reduction initiative, a program developed to
recycle, repurpose, or reuse our packaging and facility waste. Through education and
training, we encourage our team to reduce, reuse and recycle all types of waste both at
the office and at home.
Waste categories diverted through reduction initiatives as of December 2025:
Single Stream – 16,132 lbs. = 8.06T

Plastic Film – 38,239 lbs. = 18.85T
