“As a company, we’ve been on our sustainability journey for quite a long time, and are grateful to provide products that have such a high rate of recyclability. Having a prestigious organization like John Deere recognize us for our accomplishments is humbling and a very distinct honor,” said Pete Stanislawczyk, East Penn Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer. “We will continue on in our commitments to environmental stewardship and top levels of customer service.”
