Nature’s Path (Blaine)

Runner-up: Manufacturing Innovation of the Year (Large Companies)

| June 2010 | FROM THE PRINT EDITION

At its Blaine manufacturing plant, Richmond,
B.C.-based Nature’s Path makes organic cereal. But it defines being a green company
beyond using organic food ingredients. Working with Impact Washington and the
Department of Ecology on a “lean and green” program, Nature’s Path has been
reducing waste as well as energy and water use in the plant, changes that will
save tens of thousands of dollars a year.
