Not Your Usual Networking Event
Sustainable Business Communities: Creating Industrial Ecology
David Quigg spoke about Grays Harbor’s drive to be the green economic hub for North America and the key role Grays Harbor Paper plays in modeling sustainable practices.
Quigg illustrated how businesses are currently benefiting from each other’s byproducts in the region and how big business, like Starbucks, are starting to engage with the synergistic dynamics of the Grays Harbor community.
In February 2005, Grays Harbor Paper marked a milestone in green paper production. With the addition of their second electric generator powered by renewable fuels, the new capacity qualified Grays Harbor Paper for renewable certification by Green-E, the recognized leader of renewable energy certification in the U.S.
