We work hard every day to find ways to improve production processes and turn waste into opportunity. Our overall carbon footprint is reduced through our investment in zero-emissions wind power renewable energy credits, and we are actively pursuing zero manufacturing waste to landfill status.

Renewable Energy Certificate

What is a Renewable Energy Certificate (REC)?

A REC represents the environmental benefit associated with one MWh of renewable energy generated and delivered to the power grid. The RECs we support are Green-e Energy® certified and generated from wind farms located throughout the U.S. This allows us to reduce the overall impact of our operations, helps increase demand for renewable energy, and supports the ongoing development of renewable energy projects.
