Naturepedic Practice Greenhealth Award

Naturepedic Practice Greenhealth Award

Naturepedic announced the company is the 2015 recipient of Practice Greenhealth’s Champion for Change award for its successes in sustainability. This specifically honors businesses who have not only taken steps to improve their internal green practices, but who help their customers and employees expand their sustainable practices as well.

“Naturepedic is wholeheartedly committed to becoming ever more sustainable and reducing our environmental footprint,” said Barry Cik, Naturepedic Founder and Technical Director. “We are proud to be recognized by Practice Greenhealth as a pioneer in sustainability and will continue to adapt and enforce new practices to lessen our environmental impact even more.”

By using organic over conventional cotton, Naturepedic eliminates 2,000 pounds of synthetic pesticides annually from production. This figure only includes organic cotton filling and does not take into account the large amount of organic cotton fabric Naturepedic also uses for its products. Naturepedic’s healthy, non-toxic crib mattress and mattress pad designs feature certified organic cotton fabric and filling, and never include polyurethane foam, vinyl/PVC, phthalates, flame retardants or DEHP.

The Practice Greenhealth Environmental Excellence Awards were presented in Portland, Oregon, May 14, at the CleanMed Conference and Exhibition, a national environmental conference for leaders in health care sustainability.
