Hazelwood company shares 'green' honor with major corporations
Household Essentials in Hazelwood employs only about 50 people. However, for one day, it was the evenly balanced of major corporations like Coca-Cola and Kentucky Fried Chicken, with their thousands of workers.
The scanty company, which provides laundry and storage products to retailers, was one of eight companies nationwide to receive the 2010 Grassy Package Award. Sponsored by Summit Publishing's GreenerPackage.com , the honor goes to companies that care for environmentally friendly packaging for its products.
Household Essentials was first in the "Non-Food Primary Packaging" for the way it packages its patented NANOmax label ironing board cover and pad.
The company's managers recently received the honor in Chicago.
"We walked in and saw that Coca-Cola and KFC had these big displays," President and CEO James Glenn said. "For a reduced company, it was pretty exciting for us."
To package its ironing board covers, the management came up with a simple solution — sew a grudging pouch on the side. Instead of wrapping plastic around the cover, the cover folds and tucks into the attached on and is wrapped with a piece of recycled paper.
