Sustainability Top 5 Initiatives
-
Wastewater Management:
1. Our facility is equipped with a state-of-the-art wastewater treatment plant specifically designed to remove fats, oils, and greases from our wastewater before it is sent to municipal treatment facilities. This not only helps in reducing the environmental burden on local water treatment infrastructure but also ensures that we adhere to environmental compliance standards..
-
Energy Efficiency:
2. To minimize our energy consumption and enhance efficiency, our entire building is fitted with LED lighting systems. These systems are automated to ensure that lights are only on, when necessary, significantly reducing our energy usage and contributing to our overall energy conservation efforts.
-
Vertical Integration of Packaging:
3. Vertical Integration of Packaging: We have vertically integrated the production of our core packaging item, the plastic cup. This internal production eliminates the need to transport cups from external suppliers, thereby reducing our carbon footprint associated with transportation emissions.
-
Ingredient Optimization:
4. To reduce waste and lower the emissions linked to transporting heavier, bulkier materials, many of our ingredients are processed into powder form instead of liquid. This change not only decreases the overall weight and volume of shipments but also enhances the efficiency of our logistics.
-
Sustainable Packaging Materials:
5. All our jars are recycling friendly. All our cardboard packaging is made from 100% recycled material. This initiative reduces the need for virgin paper production, which is often associated with higher energy and water usage and greater environmental impact.
