Earl’s Organic Commitment to Sustainability

Share

• At Earl’s Organic Produce, we extend our commitment to sustainability beyond our organic products by practicing the three R’s – reduce, reuse, and recycle – in all aspects of our business operations. Below are several examples of ways we have lessened our ecological footprint:
• Waste Management – we compost and recycle in both the office and warehouse to significantly decrease landfill-bound refuse
• Pallet Reuse – we return pallets for reuse to decrease the amount of hardwood lumber harvested for pallet production
• Energy Efficiency – we participate in San Francisco Community Power’s Demand Response Program
• Office Operations: We use 100% post-consumer content, chlorine free paper for all office printing and purchase planet-friendly office products whenever available
• Green Cleaning – we use biodegradable, non-toxic cleaning products throughout our office and warehouse
• Organic Fabrics – all company garments are made from organic cotton
• Education – we are a source of information to our growers, customers, and the community regarding organic produce and sustainable agriculture
• Participation – we are proud members of the San Francisco Produce Market Green Team
