Yes – they both are! Our harvesting methods do not impact the well-being of any humans, animals, or other ecosystems on the lands. Due to our sustainable harvesting methods and our responsible acquisition of our ingredients, we ensure that we do not deplete the forests in any way.  Each plant will completely renew itself within the next 5 to 7 years. Additionally, heat generated from our manufacturing process is recycled and used to heat our building. Any waste material generated is sold to local garden stores as lawn mulch.
