We power our kitchen with 100% solar energy and pioneer research projects for solar thermal energy uses. Our main challenge is the reliance on single use plastics for packaging. We figured high shelf life renewable solutions would be available by now, but we continue to wait for that technology to develop. In the meantime we try to use as little material per package as possible and avoid metalized materials on our packaging films that decrease the possibility for recycling. We also manage our popcorn supply chain by buying popcorn seed for planting, working directly with farms, and even processing the grain ourselves in our solar electric grain drying and cleaning facility.
