Pet food and treat processors who have pledged to reduce the amount of waste going to landfills must critically evaluate material and asset usage plant-wide,
engage employees in the process and be a good steward
of all resources. "It's a matter of changing business systems all in an effort to have a net gain," says Tim Cesarek,
executive vice president, Gevo, Englewood, Colorado,
and a veteran in the field of renewable resource and
organic recycling. Cesarek says there is no one silver bullet that will solve the world's waste management issues.
"Companies trying to make a positive impact should
look for the low hanging fruit and improve small pieces
at a time. It's not an insurmountable challenge as long as
we continue to make strides in the right direction."
Hill's Pet Nutrition is leading the way in Colgate's
efforts toward zero waste. The first three Colgate facilities to achieve Zero Waste to Landfill were Hill's
factories. Hill's sustainability efforts include working to responsibly source ingredients and reduce its
operational footprint.
The J.M. Smucker Company, Orrville, Ohio, parent
company of Ainsworth Pet Nutrition, has established
specific environmental goals to reduce its impacts related to waste, water and greenhouse gas emissions
by 2020, including diverting 95% of waste from landfills, reducing water use intensity by 15% and reducing
greenhouse gas emissions intensity by 10%.
As part of its sustainable-in-a-generation plan, Mars,
parent company of Mars Petcare, announced at the end
of 2015 that the company achieved its goal of sending zero waste to landfill from direct manufacturing
at all 126 of its production facilities around the world.
Looking to continue making impactful improvements,
the company says its ongoing efforts to reduce food
Diverting waste
back into circulation
with a useful purpose
requires many
small steps in the
right direction.
