Drinkware of choice
While innovation remains ongoing at Tervis , Hosana emphasizes that sustainability is also deeply ingrained as a core value within the organization . “ In 2018 , we made substantial investments in sustainability , specifically targeting our operations floor , where we replaced plastic wrapping with eco-friendly paper alternatives . Our aim was to ensure that when customers received their packages , the packaging itself was as sustainable as possible . We collaborated closely with our partners to achieve this goal . Moreover , we have implemented recycling practices within our factory , where we repurpose scraps and products returned to us through warranty . These materials are transformed into park benches , which we donate to Sarasota County to be placed along the Legacy Trail , a popular biking and walking path spanning 18.5 miles near our corporate headquarters . We also actively participate in beach clean-ups and engage in conferences dedicated to raising awareness about reusable plastics . These initiatives allow us to educate others about the importance of minimizing single-use plastics ,” she adds .
By championing unique designs , Tervis is poised for continued success . Hosana shares her optimistic vision for the future of the company : “ I want us to retain our leadership position as the drinkware of choice in the home as well as in golfing and boating communities , while also excelling in the realm of innovation . I ’ d also like our products to be prominently displayed in the aisles of major retailers .” ■
