I've lived in Lorain County most of my life, in Amherst for 30 years (which is just North of Lorain) and I've never heard of Turtle Products. Thanks for the heads up -- I think I'll contact him.

Stay warm

Are you familiar with Tom Norton at Turtle Plastics in Lorain? He has a wealth of knowledge and has implemented sustainability into his business at many levels....worth a look: http://www.turtleplastics.com/

Best,
Annabel

Welcome to zerowasteneo! Thanks for joining the conversation and putting the word out to network with other manufacturers. A couple of manufacturers that are working towards zero waste include Talan Products (contact Jeff Millis) and Taylor Companies (contact Jeff Baldassari). I will be in touch with you about future opps to learn from other manufacturers in the area.

Happy New Year!
