Partner Profile Accredo Packaging, Inc. is a state-of-the-art flexible packaging manufacturer built on the premise of sustainability. Accredo uses wind-generated electrical power to produce printed/unprinted high barrier roll-stock and pouches. The company also embraced sustainable building concepts when designing its Greenfield plant to LEED® guidelines, resulting in a more energy- and water-efficient plant with nominal emissions. Accredo Packaging has found that renewable energy is one of the easiest and most effective ways to minimize the impact of carbon emissions. The company decided to purchase wind power because it proved a more cost effective alternative to solar power and the increased cost of wind over fossil fuel-sourced power was minimal. "We pursue sustainable processes when it comes to production of our products," says Accredo's General Manager, Kevin McCarthy. "By powering our business using 100% wind-generated power we reduce our non-renewable energy consumption and lessen our impact on the environment."
