In our environmentally-aware society, companies in every industry are working to address many of the environmental concerns we face today. The EPA, in conjunction with the Center for Resource Solutions, sponsors the Green Power Leadership Awards each year, to recognize the leading actions of organizations that significantly advance the development of green power sources.
Zotos International, Inc., a leading brand in hair care products, has been awarded the 2012 Green Power Leadership Award for their green power efforts. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, in 2012, Zotos met its goal of using 100% green power for its 670,000 square foot manufacturing plant, located in Geneva, NY. Using two 1.65 megawatt wind turbines, Zotos generates approximately half of the plant's electricity on-site. Zotos' wind-power initiative is the largest wind project of any manufacturer in the United States.
Along with their wind-power initiative, Zotos is also committed to neutralizing their carbon footprint (making Zotos one of the first manufacturers in the beauty industry to do so), and has rolled out a "Green Packaging Plan," to further increase their initiative in "Going Green." According to http://zotos.com/gogreen, under their Green Packaging Plan, Zotos has released new packaging created from "hybrid bioplastic resin," which is a "composite of post-consumer recycled plastic and thermoplastic starch derived from plants."
