Lindon, Utah – Paul Anderson, CEO of For Every Body, has been awarded the “2009 Green Team Excellence Award” for the company’s recycling and redirecting garbage efforts by Dunn Recycling. According to Paul Anderson, CEO of the nation’s largest woman-owned candle manufacturer, in 2009 For Every Body recycled and reused 117 tons of garbage totaling an approximately 52 percent recovery rate of the total trash volume.

“For Every Body recycles wax, rebuilds old pallets, sorts garbage and sells scrap all in the effort to be conscious of the company’s impact on the environment,” said Paul Anderson. “It is imperative that large manufacturers be mindful of the waste it produces. Landfills are filling up at an alarming rate in this country and by recycling we can alleviate some of the overburden on the environment.”

According to Pat Dunn, owner of Dunn Recycling, the “2009 Green Team Excellence Award” is given to companies that are committed to recycling and diverting trash from the landfill. “To put things in perspective, most companies strive for 20 percent to 30 percent recycle rates,” said Pat Dunn, of Dunn Recycling. “For Every Body’s recovery rate of 52 percent (in their first year) puts them at the top 10 percent of recyclers in Utah County. For Every Body is really committed to being green.”

For Every Body, North America’s largest woman-owned candle manufacturing company was founded in 1995, in Lindon, Utah, as a retailer of bath and body products by Becky Anderson and her daughters. Dunn Recycling was established to assist the communities of Utah in their recycling efforts.
