Rainier’s 2010 Environmental
Management Update

Rainier’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond our manufacturing practices and into helping customers who are doing their part to make the planet a little greener.

Recently, Rainier teamed with Engineered Compost Systems, a company dedicated to the design and manufacture of responsible composting methods.  Rainier built about 145 Compost Covers, manufactured exclusively for ECS.

The covers are designed to compost virtually any feedstock (yard waste, food waste, source separated organics, biosolids and industrial wastes).  The covers provide a barrier, which traps volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and prevents them from entering the atmosphere, while keeping birds, rats, and flies out.

These covers bring Rainier’s sustainability initiative full circle.  They were manufactured in our ISO 14001 certified facility, and utilize ECS’s proprietary and patented design to compost.  Rainier is also into composting, including food scraps from our lunchrooms and scrap material from our woodshop.
