OMA Sustainability Peer Network Tours Orrville Plants

The OMA’s Sustainability Peer Network tours The J.M. Smucker Company Grind2Energy installation.

Here, the OMA’s Sustainability Peer Network views the CNG compressor at SmithFoods Inc., Orrville.

This week the OMA’s Sustainability Peer Network members had the opportunity to tour two OMA member facilities in Orrville: The J.M. Smucker Company and SmithFoods Inc.

Projects showcased included SmithFoods’ natural gas fleet fueling station and the J.M. Smucker Company’s Grind2Energy food waste recycling system and its green-designed R&D building.

Participants were also treated to a lunch prepared by the Smucker Company chef that featured foods from both companies plus local and sustainably managed foods.

To help OMA members network, learn, and share about sustainability goals, practices, and projects, the OMA created the Sustainability Peer Network. You can join here. The next meeting will be at the OMA offices on Tuesday, June 19. 4/19/2018
