Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility
Our core mission --
the preservation of nature’s excellence through science, extends past providing
efficacious and safe products that offer tangible health benefits. Because in order to sustain our mission far
into the future, we must make solid contributions to protecting and supporting an
environment where our mission remains possible.
This is
why our core mission manifestly includes implementation of a multi-faceted
sustainability program. It started with some small things. Such as, design of the facility was made with
large consideration to energy efficiency, with particular regard to solar and
wind use to minimize the need for climate and lighting controls.
Botanical
waste products are recycled to provide energy for the manufacturing process,
reducing outside energy use severalfold compared to conventional extraction facilities. Excess
botanical waste products are also donated to local farmers and used as a
substitute for synthetic fertilizers. A proprietary internal wastewater treatment
facility cleans and recycles water, eliminating runoff to the local watershed. Additional
sustainability efforts are now in testing and implementation phases, as
environmental responsibility and sustainability are a large part of our core
mission.
