Where can we reduce our impact on the planet?

It’s a question we ask ourselves quite often. As a result, many areas of our operations have had much positive change over the years.   And good news! Our efforts have been recognized as we've been identified as a sustainability leader in the Portland area--check out our 2010 BEST Award.  Read about our 2009 sustainability highlights for some examples of things we've done.

We use aseptic packaging because even the most perishable foods stay fresh, tasty and nutritious for months without preservatives or energy intensive refrigeration. Aseptic packaging doesn’t require as many raw materials to create, which reduces the amount energy needed to process and ship. And it’s recyclable in many places around the country. Learn more about recyclying information in your area, check out The Carton Council.

We believe that we have an obligation to leave the world a better place. We’re not there yet, but every time we find a way to reduce our impact on the planet it’s exciting and has the added benefit of improving quality while reducing costs.
