Waste Reduction
In FY ’08, we attained a 6.5% reduction in our solid waste metric (as measured by tons of solid waste sent to the landfill per $1,000,000 net sales).
We attribute this reduction to:
- Improvements in our processes and new, more efficient packaging machinery;
- New quality-control protocols that reduce waste in our production process; and
- An expansion of our recycling program to include obsolete materials used to package our 10-oz. and 12-oz. bags of coffee.
