Straus Family Creamery facilities receive True Zero Waste certification
The company has the first such certified dairy manufacturing facility.
Straus Family Creamery, the first 100% certified organic creamery in the United States, said its creamery in Marshall, Calif., and its headquarters offices and warehouse in Petaluma, Calif., were awarded TRUE (Total Resource Use and Efficiency) Zero Waste certification at the Gold level. The creamery is the first in the world to receive TRUE Zero Waste Certification. TRUE certification, administered by Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI), enables facilities to define, pursue and achieve their zero waste goals, cut their carbon footprint and support public health.
Straus Family Creamery said it continues 25 years of tradition in sustainable business leadership, reaching its goal of zero waste by diverting more than 1 million pounds from landfills and the environment. This goal is part of the mission-driven company’s climate change strategy and includes innovative practices to reduce waste.
