Her project entailed a massive data collection and analysis across multiple facilities to standardize our practices. Emily developed best practices to be used company-wide focusing on replacing chemicals with less toxic, but just as effective options when possible, install automated wall- mounted sanitizing stations, reducing order frequency, and tote reuse and recycle. Through these efforts Emily found ways to reduce 5,000 pounds of waste and 5 tons of C02 annually from just one chemical vendor. Emily’s internship was in partnership with the Oregon Applied Sustainability Experience which connects university students with various businesses across Oregon state. As the winner of the I3 Challenge, Emily was offered a full-time position at Pacific Seafood. Emily found ways to reduce 5,000 lbs of waste 5 tons of CO 2 &
