This company also incorporates a zero waste policy.  Team members at Hawaii Island Gourmet make a great effort to produce zero waste from their production efforts by re-using all plant based materials, recycling materials, and donating materials.  Some ways the company re-uses their waste is by providing materials to farmers as animal feed, and utilizing crop rotations such as panting new taro from previously cut stalks.  Also used cooking oil is donated to local organizations that utilize the oil as bio-fuel to run vehicles.  This is a company who truly takes pride in their dedication to promote sustainability.
