partnership leads to huge success for both parties
The city of Portland, Oregon recently passed a law banning the disposal of waxed cardboard boxes from going into the city compost program. For grocery stores in the area, this leaves disposing these bales to landfills as the only other option.
Led by one of the leading businesses, New Seasons Market decided to take charge and make it their goal to divert all the perfectly good waxed cardboard boxes from going to landfills for the next 50 years. New Seasons has led a movement, gathering other grocery store leaders like Albertsons, Fred's, and many more.
CleanFlame decided to team up and lend a helping hand, sending trucks to the city to pick up their waxed cardboard boxes, only to turn it into ultra-clean burning products that will go right back onto the store shelves that are involved. These award winning products are simply made from these produce boxes that would otherwise go to landfills for the next 50 years. They contain an FDA food grade wax which allows them to produce a flame so clean you can cook over it.
CleanFlame diverts over 10 million pounds of this material from landfills each year. Now with the new partnership, the company estimates that number will grow substantially.
