We are excited to release our 2022 Sustainability Report. Can you believe this is our ninth annual Sustainability Report? For almost a decade we’ve been transparently reporting on progress, or sometimes roadblocks to progress, of our socially and environmentally responsible goals.
As a sustainability-minded company obsessed with the connection between the health of our planet and the impacts of single-use packaging – we are proud to share the story of how we continue to raise the bar in terms of our operations, products and supply chain, Zero Waste infrastructure and operators, and our people.
Some highlights of this year’s report include:
 |
- Reaching our goal of helping 25 operators achieve Zero Waste. Woo-hoo!
- Cheers to our Product & Zero Waste Specialists (PZWS) and their ability to build relationships, expand commercial compost infrastructure, support operators and to help implement compost programs within their regions. These compost crusaders are true gems!
- Eco-Products made strides on expanding access to commercial composting. Our efforts in 2021 led to composting access in Alaska, Birmingham, AL and San Antonio, Tx.
- Our expanding regional scope and localized approach helped us be successful and we plan to continue this work in 2022 by evaluating other regions across the globe where composting infrastructure is viable.

- Wow, we really knocked It out of the park in terms of meeting goals in the “people” realm of our program!
- In 2021, the Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion committee, a.k.a. JEDIs, spearheaded an innovative program to support Composter/Hauler Distributors (CHDs) from economically disadvantaged groups. We believe everyone should have access to composting and that economic factors should not prevent businesses from advancing their sustainability goals. To meet this goal, we reduced minimum order quantities and barriers to entry for credit, resulting in two new CHDs from economically disadvantaged groups.

And, of course, don’t forget our annual Sustainability Report also proclaims what we will be hard at work to achieve in 2022. So, take a read to understand where we’ve been and what we’ve accomplished so far, and get a preview of the wild ride yet to come!
