You recently introduced a refill pack for The Enhancer . How does that make your product even greener ?
With the introduction of the refill pack , we have discovered a way to not only cut down on packaging , shipping , and possible waste , but also reduce the impact on the environment at the same time . An added bonus is that we can offer this greener product at a reduced cost to the consumer .
What innovative ideas do you implement for running a green business ?
We follow the reduce , reuse , refill ideology when it comes to manufacturing our products . The refill packs represent a major step forward in logistical efficiency and forward-thinking packaging . We plan to continue to work towards developing products with lower environmental impacts , products that are both convenient to use and that reduce household waste . We hope that customers will cooperate with us in these efforts through the use of these refill packs .
What do you do to reduce your company ’ s carbon footprint ?
We began making the easiest changes first . Similar to most businesses , energy use is only second to travel as the largest portion of a company ’ s carbon footprint . With that in mind , we made some simple changes around the office , like turning off and unplugging electronics when not in use . To make things simple , we plugged our computers , printers , and fax machines into a single power bar . We turn those power bars off when we leave for the day , further decreasing our utility bill and impact on the environment . We also turn down our thermostat at night and on weekends , as well as keep the air conditioning set lower , except for the hottest part of the summer . Just recently , we installed LED lights throughout our facility and

offices to further reduce our energy consumption and thus , our carbon footprint . By reducing waste , we create efficiencies and reduce costs , which allows us to pass savings on to customers . Finally , we continually pursue simplification in the materials we use to make our packaging , ensuring they can be recycled . As more consumers recognize and participate in recycling , there will be less litter , less waste sent to the landfill , less use of virgin materials , and potential savings in greenhouse gas emissions .
What ’ s next for TNB ?
While we ’ re really excited about the introduction of the refill packs , we ’ ve actually released a few additional products in the meantime . First and foremost , the highly anticipated Enricher , an all-natural plant booster and corrective supplement that can be used from the first day of vegetation to the last two weeks of flower . It promotes bigger yields , greener plants , and bigger buds while improving flavour , overall plant health , and resin production . We ’ ve also brought a new pair of lightweight trimming shears to the market with a reinforced spring and soft rubber grips that cushion the hand . Further variations will be introduced throughout the year . Finally , we most recently released our very own CO 2 monitor and thermo hygrometer , which are both available now . In addition , we are currently exploring the feasibility of marketing several new products under the TNB brand . Throughout the research and development stage , emphasis will continue to be on using materials that have a lower environmental impact .
