Rockline Industries, a leading manufacturer of coffee filters and consumer, medical and commercial wet wipes, has released its 14th annual Sustainability Report. This year's report highlights major milestones in the company's commitment to reducing carbon emissions, increasing green power usage, and minimizing waste across its operations.
"As part of our long-term sustainability vision, we continue to take bold steps toward reducing our environmental impact," says Randy Rudolph, president of Rockline Industries. "In the past year, we have made significant strides in increasing our use of renewable energy, further reducing our greenhouse gas emissions, and cutting down waste across our facilities. I'm incredibly proud of the dedication of our team to making these sustainability commitments a reality."
A key highlight of this year's report is Rockline's continued investment in green power. Through its participation in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Green Power Partnership, Rockline now sources nearly 21 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of green power annually, covering 55% of the company's total electricity use. Three major Rockline facilities—including its Springdale, Arkansas; Booneville, Arkansas; and Morristown, Tennessee (Iatric subsidiary) sites— now operate on 100% or near-100% renewable electricity.
Beyond its energy initiatives, Rockline also reports notable improvements in waste reduction. Since the start of its sustainability program in 2008, the company has achieved a 33% reduction in solid waste generation at its manufacturing sites. The company continues to focus on wastewater reduction efforts and has introduced new initiatives to improve recycling and material efficiency.
Looking ahead, Rockline remains committed to its ambitious goal of reducing absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 50% by 2032 (compared to its 2022 baseline). Additionally, Rockline announced its commitment to be Net Zero by 2050. This effort aligns with its broader vision of achieving fossil fuel independence through clean, low-carbon energy, minimizing waste and environmental impact, and developing ecologically sustainable products.
