Kontoor’s US distribution centres hit ‘zero waste’ target

17/12/2019
Denim group Kontoor Brands says it has reached zero-waste designation for its owned distribution centres in North America, meaning at least 95% of the waste will be diverted from landfills through recycling, composting and reuse

The owner of Wrangler and Lee worked with Cascadia Consulting Group, a Seattle-based consulting firm that helps organisations with zero-waste strategies.

Randy Fortenberry, vice-president of supply chain at Kontoor Brands, said: “Reaching and maintaining a zero-waste designation at our North American distribution centres is an important milestone in our commitment to having a positive impact on the communities and environments in which we operate.”
