by 1219 h3 — December 21, 2009—Haworth, Inc. announces that all U.S., Shanghai and Pune manufacturing facilities, as well as the company’s global headquarters, have achieved zero waste-to-landfill status. Preliminary results show that Haworth’s U.S. manufacturing facilities have gone from 4.6 million pounds of landfill waste in 2008 to zero in 2009.
“Haworth is extremely proud of this accomplishment but we also recognize that this is a sustainable journey,” said John Mooney, Haworth Chief Financial Officer and executive sponsor of sustainability. “Zero waste-to-landfill is a bold step toward our zero waste goals a concept that affects all aspects of our business.”
Haworth U.S. facilities still generate approximately .93 million pounds of waste that is turned into energy. Global Haworth facilities that are not yet at zero waste-to-landfill status will do so by 2011. Additional information on Haworth’s sustainability initiatives can found in the company’s sustainability report.
