Enviro-Log Company Plans Glendale, Arizona, Manufacturing Complex
08/04/2022
Located at 7676 N. Glen Harbor Boulevard, the 76,156-square-foot facility will be dedicated to recycling waxed cardboard boxes (WOCC) and manufacturing its environmentally-friendly, Enviro-Log products. The company plans to work directly with produce leaders, grocery retailers and recyclers to recycle large volumes of WOCC from Arizona, California and all of the western United States.
“During our search, Arizona stood out for a variety of reasons including having a very supportive business-friendly climate, strong talent pool of skilled labor, and proximity to major transportation routes,” said Ross McRoy, President and Founder of Enviro-Log. “Glendale in particular is ideally situated between major highways and its location allows us to better serve our retail and recycling partners on the West Coast and in the Midwest. We look forward to helping Arizona reach its sustainability goals.”
Headquartered in Fitzgerald, Georgia, Enviro-Log is the largest recycler of WOCC in North America and the third largest producer of manufactured firelogs in the U.S. For the past 18 years the company has worked with retailers to reduce their environmental impact and start them on a path toward zero waste by recycling their WOCC, which is typically used to transport fruits and vegetables to grocery stores and restaurants.
“Enviro-Log’s new recycling and manufacturing facility further demonstrates Arizona’s attractiveness as a manufacturing powerhouse,” said Sandra Watson, President and CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority (ACADevelopment). “The facility’s recycling operations will enhance Arizona’s sustainability footprint while strengthening Glendale’s vibrant manufacturing base. We look forward to supporting Enviro-Log’s success at the new Glendale facility.”
Enviro-Log uses the recycled WOCC to manufacture its earth-friendly firelogs that burn cleaner than wood (emitting 50 percent less greenhouse gasses, 30 percent less particulate emissions and 80 percent less carbon dioxide) while also providing 50 percent more heat per pound. This recycling process saves tens of thousands of trees from being used as firewood and millions of pounds of WOCC from going into landfills every year. To date, Enviro-Log has worked with over 100 partners throughout North America and diverted over nearly half a billion pounds of WOCC from landfills.
“With modern freight infrastructure connecting to large consumer centers and a pro-business environment that welcomes innovators from across the globe, Greater Phoenix is ideally positioned to attract organizations like Enviro-Log that are poised to successfully expand," said Chris Camacho, President & CEO of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council. "We’re excited to be a partner in Enviro-Log’s continued success and growth, as it establishes new recycling and sustainability options for the region.”
