Successes

 

After their largest customer instated a sustainable purchasing policy, a tortilla food processor

changed practices to decrease packaging by 12%, saving over $70,000 per year. At the same

time, the company underwent a lighting retrofit in their warehouse and production area, increasing

efficiency, saving $175,000 and creating a higher quality workspace for their employees.

 

A consumer goods manufacturer re-thought packaging, implementing a reusable tote instead of

traditional disposable cardboard. The result was $1.95M in net packaging savings and 350 tons of

cardboard waste eliminated. The same company also reduced water usage by 20 million gallons

per year by xeriscaping, installing low flow toilets and increasing efficiency of irrigation systems.
