To reduce greenhouse emissions via management of materials….
Over 95% of our emissions come from materials used in making products, including water treatment and transportation. Making products lighter is an effective way to use less material, reduce transportation energy, and lower manufacturing energy use.
Since 2020, we have made our products lighter by an average of 3g. While that may not seem like much, we produce over 3 billion items each year!
To reduce the amount we send to landfill
In any manufacturing industry it can be so easy to lose sight on what the amount and destination for the manufacturing waste produced. This is another sustainable factor we have 100% control over.
We are proud to share that since we began monitoring, we have successfully sent 0% of waste to the landfill.
To only buy renewable energy to run all our sites.
As a business, purchasing renewable energy to power all Esterform sites is crucial for both environmental and operational reasons. First, it significantly reduces our carbon footprint, helping combat climate change by lowering greenhouse gas emissions. This aligns with growing consumer and investor demand for sustainable practices, enhancing the brand’s reputation and appeal. Additionally, renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydro are becoming more cost-competitive, offering long-term price stability compared to fossil fuels, which are subject to market volatility.
By committing to renewable energy, Esterform not only contributes to a healthier planet but also future-proof their operations against potential regulatory changes as governments worldwide increase pressure on companies to adopt sustainable practices. It can also open up new opportunities for growth, such as access to green funding and partnerships focused on sustainability.
We obtained a REC certificate to ensure 100% of energy used was purchased via Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin.
