Zumbiel Packaging Chooses Renewable Energy

Ed Zumbiel, president of Zumbiel’s beverage packaging division, said that “seeding the grid with renewable energy is more expensive than juicing-up with electricity from a coal-fired plant, but environmental stewardship is important to Zumbiel, is important to Zumbiel’s customers (who tend to be Fortune 100 companies), and is important to beverage consumers.” On the issue of sustainability, he further added, “Zumbiel, as a fourth-generation family-owned and operated company, has always demonstrated a profound respect for the environment, even before it was fashionable to do so; and, supporting the use of renewable energy is just another way that Zumbiel can contribute to the preservation of the environment for future generations.”
