Whether it’s the air we breathe or the greenspace where our pets play, protecting the earth can mean taking on big initiatives or making small changes to our daily habits. This starts at our office, where we pay our employees to leave their cars at home and ride their bikes or scooters to work instead. We continue our commitment by powering our offices with 100% green electricity and volunteering to clean up roadside trash on US HWY 160 just west of Durango.

We pay our employees to ride their bikes or scooters to work.

We consider the bigger manufacturing picture too. For packaging, our boxes are 60% recycled paperboard. We also make them smaller and fill them fuller to use 20% less material than our competitors. A smaller box also means we ship more cases on every pallet. The result? Less greenhouse gas emissions to get the product to you. We walk the dogs at the humane society once a month, clean up trash on our adopted section of highway 160, donate product to any local (4 Corners area) organization that asks us. We use LED lightbulbs in our main office to reduce our energy use, and use 100% recycled paper products at the office.

How we live what we believe

Living sustainably is more than a company policy, it’s a way of life for everyone at Zuke’s. When we protect our hiking trails, harvest our own vegetables and reduce our consumption of gas and electricity, we’re making a commitment to the planet and our pets.
