Method Products
Method's California distribution center services 50-60 percent of its western U.S. customer base. The company is currently using a B20 blend at that location and is in the process of moving to B50. In addition, a Method trailer decked out with a biodiesel logo is making the rounds on weekends to California Lowes stores where it is promoting Method products as well as biodiesel fuel.
In New Jersey, where Method has a dedicated biodiesel fuel tank, the company is using a B20 waste oil blend in their dedicated fleet. These vehicles service 80 percent of Method's Northeast shipments. The company hopes to introduce waste oil or algae biodiesel blends at a third distribution center in Chicago in the near future. Method Products, Inc. manufacturers environmentally friendly cleaning products. Their products contain biodegradable ingredients from natural materials like coconut and palm oils. The company's packaging is made from the most readily recyclable materials. CO2 emisions from employee commute and travel are offset through the purchase of carbon credits and the energy used in the manufacturing sites and offices is from renewable energy credits. According to Jason Bowman, Director of Sourcing & Logistics for Method Products, Inc., the company is moving towards becoming a completely carbon-neutral business. "We reduce our carbon footprint wherever we can, from shipping products in trucks running on biodiesel to offsetting all carbon emissions from our manufacturing, travel and office use," said Bowman. "Method is about more than cleaning up your home and your body, it's about cleaning up the way we clean." For more information, visit www.methodhome.com. Spring 2010
