NetImpact SLC was treated royally by GreenFiber employees during our on site visit on Wednesday, April 29th, 2009. The event was fantastic – we were greeted in person by their Frog mascot at the door and warmly welcomed.

GreenFiber™ website: www.greenfiber.com

Our group of seven NetImpact SLC members were introduced and given an overview of their business, followed by a tour. In one hour we were able to walk through their entire operation and see the incredible potential for a triple bottom line advantage created through recycling paper goods from paper towel tubes to cereal boxes, cardboard containers to regular office paper. (BTW, a triple bottom line advantage is when people, resources, and businesses all stand to benefit from an action.)

I have excerpted a few pieces from their website and have included them below for your potential reading pleasure. Many thanks to Becky for arranging this terrific opportunity to see how progressive businesses can be if they focus on being socially, economically, and ecologically responsible.
