Sustainability
Our commitment to quality is not limited to just our services and products, it also extends to the environment.
We believe it’s important to make sure that we minimize our impact on the natural and energy resources especially in the communities where we maintain production/distribution facilities.
The Lassonde Pappas Product Sustainability Program is a top priority for our organization, built on four major cornerstones:
- Reduction of fuel and power
- Reduction of packaging materials
- Reduction of water consumption and waste
- Becoming an Efficient Recycling Partner
We set various objectives for our manufacturing plants to reduce consumption rates year by year.
On a monthly basis we measure ourselves on a stringent set of performance metrics to ensure we reach our goals:
- Kwh/Gallon of Juice: Electricity utilization
- MMBTU/Gallon of Juice: Thermal units utilized in our hot fill processes
- Water Usage/Gallon of Juice: Waste water/gallon of juice
- Solid Waste/Million Gallons of Juice: Corresponding greenhouse gas emissions generated by our manufacturing plants in the consumption of electricity and natural gas. The specific gases measured are: CO2 tonnes, CH4 (kg), N2O (kg) and CO2e (tonnes)
