MINNEAPOLIS, MN, April 15, 2014-

Conwed, the leading plastic netting manufacturer in the world, has published its Global Sustainability Report 2014. Headquartered in Minnesota and with locations in two continents, Conwed has implemented best practices at all of its locations with the objective of increasing efficiency in their day to day operations and creating netting solutions that require less material and generate less waste.

Conwed went through an extensive review of its operations worldwide in 2009 and set new sustainability goals in four major areas: carbon footprint, water consumption, cubic yards of waste and total process resin waste generated. "Conwed specializes in oriented netting, which basically creates strong but lighter weight products. Our customization capabilities allow us to re-design our products to use less material; however, we decided to go further and evaluate our day to day operations. We made changes in four major areas and we see the impact on our overall sustainability", said Ivan Soltero, Strategic Marketing Manager at Conwed.
