EPA notes Tyson’s work toward more sustainable freight transport
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) SmartWay Transport Partnership recently shined a spotlight on Tyson Foods for its efforts to reduce emissions and overall truck miles. The SmartWay partnership is a collaboration between the EPA and the freight transportation industry that helps shippers, carriers and logistics companies improve fuel-efficiency and save money.
As part of its participation of the program, Tyson Foods’ team members eliminated more than 145 million over-the-road truck miles during fiscal years 2011 and 2012.
