CURRENT PROJECTS

  • Renewable Energy in WI
  • More than 90% of electricity used is from renewable sources, providing nearly 30,000,000 kWh/year in renewable energy.

  • Renewable Energy in MS
  • In partnership with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and their Green Flex program we’re utilizing 30,000,000 kWh of certified renewable energy generated through wind farms. This offsets 100% of the electricity used in our distribution centers.

  • Call2Recycle Partnership
  • Through our partnership, we’ve helped their mission to sustainably recycle more than 8 million pounds of batteries every year.

  • Lighting Upgrades
  • Converting to 100% energy efficient LED lighting across all facilities. Currently at 70% completion.

  • Compressed Air Leak Audits
  • Solved for compressed air leaks, saving nearly 500,000 kWh/year of electricity. That’s enough electricity to power 68 homes for an entire year!

  • Internal Energy Audits
  • Performing regular energy audits to reveal large opportunities for energy reduction across our operations.

  • Equipment Upgrades
  • We’ve already upgraded to high efficiency HVAC equipment in half our facilities, reducing energy consumption and ensuring a comfortable workplace for more than 4,900 employees.

  • Increased Recycling Options in Plants
  • Across our facilities, we’re diverting more than 200,000 lbs of plastic stretch film from landfills annually.

FUTURE PROJECTS

  • Sourced Renewable Energy
  • Exploring options to invest in renewably sourced energy to power our facilities.

  • Establishing Waste Diversion Goal
  • Reducing our operational waste-to-landfill through recycling initiatives.

  • Packaging Reduction
  • Determining methods to reduce product packaging and increase usage of recycling materials.
