At their Chico, CA, facility they have invested proactively in energy efficiency and renewable energy sources. Their facility employs two Photo Voltaic (Solar Energy) systems, totaling 450 kilowatts. They also capture waste heat to assist in the pasteurization process. Their renewable power generation, combined with their other on-site power sources, lets us generate more than 25% of the energy they use from renewable resources. Cultivating a Strong Foundation The Santa Cruz Organic brand's roots stretch back to the early 1970's when founder and nature lover, John Battendieri, began revitalizing orchards in the Santa Cruz mountains, an area known for its high-quality, flavorful fruit. Battendieri pressed his first batch of "Mr. Natural" apple juice in 1972, making it one of the first packaged organic products. Renewable Energy Everyone associated with the Santa Cruz Organic brand – from manufacturer to growers in the field – is dedicated to making environmentally sound choices. Sustainability at Santa Cruz Organic means sustaining their premium quality by supporting sustainable resources … from the farms and suppliers they work with to their on-site solar energy generation. In addition to their onsite renewable energy generation, they purchase Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) in the form of wind RECs. Their wind REC purchase combined with their on-site solar energy generation offsets 100% of the energy used to produce their products. All Santa Cruz Organic brand products are certified USDA Organic. How do they buy renewable energy? Renewable Energy Certificates (sometimes called RECs, green tags or green certificates) allow customers anywhere in the U.S. to support the generation of renewable energy by purchasing the renewable attributes of a specific quantity of renewable energy. This ensures that more renewable energy is added to the electricity grid, displacing conventional fuels, such as coal, nuclear or gas from the electricity system. Green-e program in which they participate certifies that the Renewable Energy Certificates they purchase meet strict environmental and consumer protection standards established by the non-profit Center for Resource Solutions. They go to great lengths to minimize waste associated with making their products and are a Green-e™ certified company recycling more than 95% of their waste and buying enough renewable energy each year to cover their production needs. Waste Reduction They’re fully committed to being sustainable, acting responsibly and working to keep their planet remarkable. And they’re proud to share the news that the U.S. Zero Waste Business Council has recognized their efforts. The council awarded their Chico, California manufacturing facility with their platinum level Zero Waste certification—the highest level offered. It means a plant that manufactures Santa Cruz Organic products is successfully diverting 99 percent of waste from landfills, incineration and the environment. Why Choose Organic?
