When it comes to waste, we know the basics: reduce, reuse, recycle. But the real question is, how do we move from these basics to a true circular system? As the Sustainability Specialist at Mountain Rose Herbs, I am deeply committed to advancing our Zero Waste program. This means that from the office to the warehouse to the production floor, we collect and sort every bit of discarded material that would normally end up in landfill. Along with being the first company in Oregon to be certified, reaching the highest True Zero Waste Certification (Platinum) level was a significant milestone in 2016 and we have maintained this standard ever since. But even as we reach this target year after year, our commitment to waste reduction continues to grow.
