At Evangers, Every Day is Earth Day

As Earth Day approaches, our family reflects on the importance of protecting our environment. We are in the business of nurturing some of the Earth’s finest creatures, and our business is dependent on abundant fresh produce and meats. Many of you many know the lengths we go to in producing all-natural, nutrient-dense, and environmentally-friendly foods for your furry family members.

But you may not know just how seriously we take it.  At Evanger's, EVERY DAY IS EARTH DAY. Did you know…..

• Evangers has the maximum amount of recyclable materials in our retail packaging.
• Evangers cans are made of steel, and labels are paper (both infinitely recyclable)
• All packaging materials are recycled
• Evangers has an on-site recycling program
• Evangers has an on-site water well, which is not only sustainable in itself, but also motivates its efforts to be socially and economically responsible.
• In 2015 Evangers saved over 1,500 trees by using greener trays on its canned pet food
• Evangers uses skylights as its main light source, with motion-detector high-efficiency lights which are defaulted by light the sensors, meaning the lights will only turn on when it's dark or cloudy and someone is in the room.
• Evangers uses variable frequency drives (VFD) on its motors which controls motors to use less electricity by taking off the initial demand load
• Boiler flame is adjusted annually to make sure we are efficient as possible
• Evanger's manufacturing plant is steam and natural-gas-operated.  
• Pallets are recycled to reduce the waste stream 
• Minimal carbon footprint - 90% of the ingredients are sourced locally within 50 miles of Evanger's own kitchens, and picked up daily with Evangers own trucks to be used within 24 hours for optimum freshness.  The other 10% of ingredients comes from US-sourced suppliers and farmers. 
• We are transitioning our labels to a stock that is made of 80% recycled material
• Evangers encourages employees to bike, carpool, or use public transportation.
• We only source ingredients from suppliers and farmers that have humane treatment of their animals.  

We take great pride in these traditions and continue to seek new ways to be earth friendly, and to make EVERY DAY EARTH DAY!
