Sustainable manufacturing

Caring for the earth goes beyond making sustainable products – it’s also important that our manufacturing practices are as eco-friendly as possible. Here are some other ways that we’ve lowered our environmental footprint at our manufacturing facilities…

Sustainability at Twincraft

Sustainable Manufacturing

Renewable Energy

Manufacturing requires a lot of power, so we’re careful about where we get it from. Between joining a community solar program and partnering with our local energy provider, our energy consumption is now 100% carbon free and over 85% renewable.

Sustainable Manufacturing

Responsible Wastewater Treatment

We take the health of our local environment seriously, which is why we have an extensive wastewater treatment plan in place. Through monthly testing, pH adjustments, and a dissolved air floatation system (DAF) to remove any remaining solids, our water is thoroughly treated before being safely flushed back into the municipal water system.

Soap scrap recycling

We found a way to recycle bar soap scraps

When you press a bar of soap, you end up with some scrap. Instead of throwing it in the landfill, we found a way to recycle it.

Since 2018, we have partnered with Clean the World to recycle soap scraps into usable bars of soap for those in need. Here’s how it works:

Step 1

Soap Collection

We collect our soap scraps and donate them to Clean the World.

Step 2

Soap Collection

The soap donations are processed, sterilized, refined, and made into brand new 1.75 bars of soap.

Step 3

Soap distribution

Clean the World distributes the recycled soap bars to vulnerable communities around the world, where this soap literally saves lives! 1 bar of soap = 100 hand washes.
