Rockline Industries Sets Emissions Goals
Rockline Industries, a manufacturer of coffee filters and consumer, medical and commercial wet wipes, pledges to lower absolute Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 50% over the next 10 years when compared to a 2022 baseline year.
The Scope 1 emissions are direct emissions from Rockline-owned sources, such as the thermal fuels used to heat Rockline's manufacturing sites and Scope 2 indirect emissions are generated from purchased electricity.
The company is not only on track to meet that 50% reduction goal, but plans to exceed it. As of July 2023, Rockline sourced green electricity at three of their largest manufacturing facilities with plans to bring on additional facilities in the coming months.
Details were released in its 13th annual Sustainability Report. The company’s annual report highlights a 31% reduction in solid waste generated by Rockline's manufacturing facilities, its plans to address challenging wastewater reduction efforts and details about how Rockline acknowledges team members working to achieve progress on all sustainability fronts.
"As part of our broader sustainability program and goals, over the past fiscal year Rockline has committed to an even more aggressive near-term carbon reduction goal," said Randy Rudolph, president of Rockline Industries in a statement. "I'm very proud of all our sustainability accomplishments, particularly reducing greenhouse gas intensity by 28% since our program began."
The long-term goals of Rockline include the achievement of fossil fuel independence through a shift toward clean, low-carbon energy, minimizing waste and its impact on the environment and developing ecologically intelligent products that are sustainable.
