GreenDustries and the power of Green Energy Integration.

Tim Sutherland is the founder, Chairman and CEO of Pace Global Energy Services, LLC (“Pace Global”), a leading global energy consulting and management firm with extensive client relationships throughout the energy, industrial and financial communities. The company, formed in 1976, is an internationally-recognized provider of advisory services, project evaluation, strategic planning, market assessments, and risk management services. Pace Global has developed and successfully deployed a unique approach to energy and carbon management for over 10,000 industrial and large commercial facilities located throughout North America and Europe and provides asset and risk management services to major energy consumers and utility companies representing a portfolio of over $10 billion.

With extensive international market experience in Europe, Russia, the U.S., Asia and Latin America, Mr. Sutherland has led the firm’s development in areas of corporate strategic planning and strategy implementation; comprehensive fuel and power supply planning; financial structuring and valuation; and private placements within the energy and transportation industries. He has provided seminars on capital deployment strategies for senior executives and has participated extensively on industry panels throughout the United States and abroad.

In today’s polarized climate, it is not uncommon to hear opposition to anything labeled climate-friendly or green. But confronting inaccurate and unfair arguments requires constant effort, and the trend toward complacency is dangerous. According to Jigar Shah of the Carbon War Room at the American Renewable Energy Day (AREDAY) conference in Aspen last week, if one doesn’t confront inaccuracies, “you’re not doing your job” and you are part of the problem. The tone of Shah’s message is comparable to the public’s frustration over political inaction.

Although we might not have a president who cares enough, “we don’t have a lot of things. We just have us.” There is no need to wait for political agreement in order to take action. Lovins’ work in energy efficiency has found that corporations around the world are already making money by going green. Reducing waste saves energy and resources, hence there’s no need to wait for government leadership.

The good news is that the cost of renewable energy is now competitive. In fact, in some states it costs more to open and run a coal power plant than solar. The main costs for a power plant are construction, maintenance and price of the commodity, which in this case, is coal. Once operational, a solar power plant requires minimal maintenance and sunlight is free. Shad Lipton, highlighted North Carolina as an example, where solar is now cheaper than coal. And wind versus coal provides an even greater mismatch.

We at GreenDustries are part of that change by influencing the Fast Food Packaging Industries. At GreenDustries, environmental stewardship and establishing an environmental leadership position by leading by example is at the core of our mission. All our packaging products are made with 100% recycled paper or with organic 100% biodegradable / compostable clear transparent films and are the champions of source reduction. All the raw materials used in GreenDustries packaging have food contact certifications.

GreenDustries leads in the three fundamental environmental rules otherwise known as the three R’s: Reduce Recycle Reuse. Source Reduction is considered by the EPA, the UN and all NGOs to be the most efficient way to reduce the negative impact packaging has on the environment; GreenDustries is using substantially less raw material in our products when compared to all other producers of analog packaging in QSR segments. To illustrate, our products can save up to 40% paper when compared to the smallest hamburger wraps and up to 85% when compared to the widely used clamshells. In most cases, our products are made with paper that is 100% recycled, post-industrial, pre-consumer, and when recovering our production waste, we reuse it in our packaging again. The rest of the waste is composted. We do all of the above while providing a superior package in every respects.

Our paper policy reflects our understanding of issues relating to the environment, biodiversity, and climate change, including the protection of endangered forests and sustainable forestry practices. Our commitment to efficient paper packaging spans nearly two decades, and we are committed to building on our position as a leader in new food application products to provide the most efficient packaging with the highest possible recycled content while maintaining unparallel source reduction of our products as well.

  1. Hello! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog. Is it very difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Thanks

  2. Throughout this great design of things you receive a B+ just for effort. Exactly where you actually lost us was in the specifics. As as the maxim goes, details make or break the argument.. And it could not be more true at this point. Having said that, allow me tell you what exactly did give good results. The writing is actually highly persuasive and that is probably the reason why I am taking an effort in order to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, while I can notice the leaps in logic you make, I am not sure of exactly how you seem to connect your ideas which in turn make the actual conclusion. For now I shall yield to your point however hope in the foreseeable future you actually connect the dots better.

As it is said, details make or break the argument.. And that could not be much more correct at this point. Having said that, allow me inform you what exactly did deliver the results. Your text can be highly convincing and this is most likely the reason why I am making an effort in order to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, even though I can easily see a jumps in reasoning you come up with, I am definitely not convinced of exactly how you appear to connect your ideas that make the final result.
