Zero-Landfill
Through aggressive recycling, raw material reduction and reuse and compost methods coupled with employee education and engaged Green Teams throughout the company, Bigelow Tea continuously achieves our company-wide commitment to maintain 'Zero-Landfill' facilities.
To ensure that our process is transparent and structured, we diligently track the disposal method and weight of the waste we have created and conduct internal auditing processes to deter contamination. We continually work to reduce waste, pushing the bar even higher.
