BUFFALO GROVE, Ill. — Profile Products announced a series of initiatives that focus on sustainable production methods and educational outreach.
Jim Tanner, the CEO
“By 2020, there will be 20 billion metric tons of plastic in landfills,” Tanner said. “We’re preventing more plastic from sitting in landfills by using packaging that is as environmentally friendly as the product it holds. We’re doing our part to reduce our environmental footprint and we hope others will join us.”
In the letter, Tanner also outlined the extensive projects and partnerships Profile has already developed that emphasize environmental stewardship, including:
- Restoring the environment through revegetation efforts, including sequestering more than 100 million tons of carbon, creating products that have recycled 3.5 billion pounds of wood and paper, removing 125 million tons of sediment from entering waterways and restoring more than 1.5 million acres of land
- Using
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified papers and incorporating low/no Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) inks - Partnering with freight providers who emphasize efficiency and sustainability while decreasing carbon dioxide emissions
- Providing more than 600 Lunch & Learn seminars a year, impacting more than 10,000 engineers, specifiers
and agencies - Launching a plant expansion in Conover, North Carolina that will triple Profile’s greenhouse facilities for research and development of
