A little more than a year ago, West Liberty Foods created a buzz, announcing the successful certification of its Tremonton, Utah, plant as a landfill-free facility, and the soon-to-follow certification of its Mount Pleasant and West Liberty, Iowa, locations as well. Earlier this year, West Liberty Foods invited media to its West Liberty headquarters to celebrate the entire company being certified landfill-free.
However, as the company put the finishing touches on its landfill-free certification, and fielded numerous calls seeking guidance on attaining such a status, the West Liberty growth story had not begun hibernating.
