At our facility in Viola, Wisconsin, we continue to implement many innovative recycling methods in our production. Each year, GoMacro sends approximately 75 tons of recycling to partners to reclaim and repurpose. We donate food scraps to local farmers to feed their animals, eliminating 20,000 lbs. of scrap from finding its way into landfills. To reduce waste, we give our empty nut butter and syrup pails to nearby businesses. Also, all of our MacroBar trays are made from 100% recycled material.

We leverage partnerships with eco-friendly companies, such as Kimberly Clark, to assist in our facility recycling efforts. With their help, we eliminate over 150,000 gloves and 275,000 hair nets from local landfills each year. In 2020 alone, we recycled 5,192 pounds of hairnets, beard nets, and nitrate gloves.

We also recycled 14.55 tons of plastic pails and drums as well as 126.2 tons of baled cardboard in 2020. Our internal Farm Share program also re-uses plastic pails and cardboard totes for microgreens in our garden.

As we move forward, GoMacro will continue to Tread Lightly by supporting environmental and sustainability initiatives utilizing 100% renewable energy and remaining 100% carbon neutral at our facilities. This is a promise to you and to our planet. We strive to inspire other companies to consider alternative energy sources and offset their carbon footprint.
