EcoStore USA, Greenblendz Offset 523 Metric Tons of Carbon Emissions For 2011
Auburn Hills-based sister companies ecoStore USA and Greenblendz Inc. have offset their greenhouse gas emissions by helping to fund a tree sink in Ecuador. The tree sink repairs the rain forest which sustains local village life, as well as animal life.
Carbon Credit Environmental Services of Detroit presented a Certificate of Carbon Neutrality to ecoStore USA & Greenblendz for 2011.
"We are constantly looking at ways to reduce our impact on the environment, and this is just one of the ways we are working to reduce our carbon footprint in 2011," said Steve Berry of Greenblendz.
EcoStore USA's baby care, personal care, pet care and household cleaning products are plant and mineral based -- the company's certification is "No Nasty Chemicals."
"Our customers are well educated and well informed," said Lyne Appel Downing, vice president of operations for ecoStore USA. "They care not only about what we put in our products, but also about what our company is doing to protect our environment."
The Greenblendz manufacturing plant is now certified under OU Kosher and the USDA Organic standards. Greenblendz manufacturers the ecoStore USA line of products sold at all Meijer locations, three Metro Detroit Plum Markets locations and online at www.ecostoreusa.com.
The companies said they continue their work toward carbon neutrality by continuing to offset greenhouse gas emissions, as well as a goal to recycle all paper, cardboard the plastic used in the manufacturing process.
