Friend, During these difficult times, we could all use some positive news. In celebration of Earth Week, we wanted to spread inspiration by highlighting two major achievements for people and the planet of Crofter’s Organic. Crofters is a certified member of our Green Business Network – businesses that are leaders in building the green economy! Crofters has greened the making of jam, from field to jar. By creating their own closed-loop water system, Crofters has reduced its water consumption by over 85%. Even though the company is located in an area abundant in fresh water in Northern Ontario, Canada, the company recognized the importance of this resource globally. To reduce the amount of water which is wasted due to the nearly constant use of water to clean equipment (jam is messy!) and the need for substantial amounts of water for its cooling tunnel, Crofters built two of its very own wastewater treatment plants right within its facility. These treatment plants take water contaminated with debris and dissolved sugars and return them to a reusable state. |
