2024 Green Plant of the Year
Keystone Potato Products, LLC. Wins 2024 Green Plant of the Year Award!
The Food Processing Magazine recognized Keystone Potato Products as the winner of the Green Plant of the Year award. The award highlights our commitment to sustainability, innovation, and eco-friendly food production processes.
As a company rooted in environmental stewardship, our operations implement cutting-edge sustainable practices. We continually strive to minimize waste and optimize resource utilization to remain one of the most sustainable food processing plants in the eastern United States.
Our Sustainability Efforts:
- Renewable Energy: Our plant is powered by methane gas from the nearby Commonwealth Environmental Systems landfill, reducing reliance on traditional energy sources.
- Water Resourcing: The water we use is reclaimed and purified from an abandoned underground coal mine. Our facilities treat it for use in our food production, then returning clean water to the environment.
- Zero Waste Commitment: All potato by-products, including peels and mash, are repurposed as cattle feed, ensuring no landfill waste.
- Innovative Processing: Our dehydration line transforms off-grade potatoes into value-added potato flakes and flour, while our fresh-cut and automated packaging lines produce high-quality products.
- Water security: Process potatoes use a great deal of water. Keystone uses state-of-art processes to minimize waste water.
Keystone Potato Products remains committed to advancing sustainability efforts and contributing positively to the environment.
We maintain a goal to continue leading the industry in sustainable food manufacturing while providing fresh, high-quality potato products to consumers nationwide.
