Nice-Pak Products, Inc. Goes Zero Landfill and Creates Heat for Indianapolis

Nice-Pak Products, Inc., the global leader in the manufacture of wet wipe products, has announced the transformation of its Mooresville, Indiana manufacturing plant into a "Zero Landfill" facility.  The plant now converts excess waste into energy that produces steam heat for the City of Indianapolis.  Prior to this transformation, the plant had been sending 4,200 tons of waste per year to landfills.

Nice-Pak Products has partnered with a cutting edge waste-to-energy facility that supplies steam to Indianapolis. The facility can process more than 2,000 tons-per-day of solid waste, to produce no less than 4,500 pounds of steam per ton of waste. The steam is used to power the Indianapolis Downtown heating loop, which includes businesses, Indiana University, and Purdue University's Indianapolis campus.   Additionally, to protect the environment, the waste-to-energy facility uses state-of-the-art air pollution control equipment and continuously monitors emissions.

Nice-Pak Products is a founding member of the Sustainability Consortium and committed to using materials in the most efficient manner possible. This includes reducing waste, and recycling or redirecting solid and liquid process waste into energy generation Converting to "Zero Landfill" plants is a key focus. Nice-Pak has published its sustainability goals, including a 50 percent reduction in total solid waste to landfills in three years. It has already exceeded this goal.
