| Partner Profile PortionPac®, named one of the country’s Top Small Company Workplaces by Inc. Magazine, manufactures Green-Seal certified cleaning products for elementary schools, libraries, government buildings, correctional facilities and hospitals. PortionPac’s high-concentrate cleaning system actually helps people use less: less of its product. For example, just one case of its 1-ounce Pacs® of glass cleaner prevents 100 pounds of plastic and 56 pounds of cardboard from entering the waste stream. The simple emphasis on using less energy is why PortionPac decided in to balance its 656,000 kWh of electricity use with third-party certified Renewable Energy Credits (RECs). “Wind Power is the best energy choice right now. It has a very low environmental impact and by purchasing RECs we are working to support the development and future success of the industry,” said PortionPac President Burt Klein. PortionPac’s goal is to reduce the resources used throughout the lifecycle of production, storage, distribution and disposal, minimize the adverse effects of chemicals on the environment and eliminate the unsafe and ineffective habits of traditional cleaning procedures. PortionPac actively works to reduce its company-wide energy use, and balances the energy it does use in manufacturing, travel, electricity, and gas by investing in certified projects and new technology that mitigate GHG emissions. | |
