Benefits of Sustainability

SUSTAINABILITY: Where did we start? Developed a sustainability initiative in 2010 Formed a “Green Team” ISO 14001 Certification

• Manage sustainability Efforts through use of a formal & organized EMS

• Drive continuous improvement Focused on Walmart Scorecard & other customer req.

• Began measuring GHGs (2010, 2011, 2012) – set goal• Measure Water Usage & Waste Generation – set goals

Develop sustainability flyers Get employees involved (AIM Program) Joined NISBC – Get Bright Green Certified (2 Star) Started recycling Started integrating green chemistry using DfE

Sustainable AIM Ideas

30% of total AIM ideas Since July 2010: Saved $84,156 EXAMPLES:• Use paper shredding service – saves time, $,

confidentiality, & recycles ($1,323)• Eliminate hardcopy AR Registers – go electronic –

save paper, time, storage fees ($8,440)• Set all computer default print to B&W ($960)• Reconfigure Production Line ($20,000)• Print all high-quality mock up labels in-house

($4,500)

Green Chemistry Initiative - DfE

Rigorous review process by EPA to ensure products are safe for environment & consumers. http://www.epa.gov/dfe/

2011: Began with 3 products• Dishwasher Magic (disinfectant) – DfE Certified• Washer Magic – DfE Certified• Disposer Care

2013:• Complete Disposer Care• Dry Cleaner’s Secret

2014: • New sustainable

drain line formulations

Sustainable Packaging (DWM Club Pack Display)

The Dishwasher Magic twin pack was originally packaged in a Clamshell tray (as shown in the first image above). By switching to the new Shrink Wrap sleeve, we saved roughly 418.37 sq. ft. of cardboard & $175 / pallet.
