Preserve manages to maintain the core principles that founder and President Eric Hudson committed to at the onset of establishing his company in 1996.

• Preserve products are made from 100% recycled plastic and 100% post-consumer paper. With the use of recycled materials the company saves energy, preserves natural resources and creates further incentive for communities to recycle.
  
• All plastic products are recyclable and made in the USA leading to more jobs domestically and reduced CO2 emissions because of shorter shipping routes.
  
• And NO testing on animals!

All of Preserve�s eco-friendly products are made to last with award winning designs and vivid colors. The company uses innovative methods to turn used materials into safe everyday products like colanders, cutting boards, razors, toothbrushes, tableware and more.

Eric Hudson�s continued development of high quality, high performance recycled plastic products has catapulted the company into a leader in the green movement. Preserve is located outside of Boston and its team of a couple dozen talented employees and interns take the message of saving precious natural resources personally! They bike, walk, take the train and/or drive bio-diesel fueled cars during daily commutes.

Corporate actions that show the Preserve commitment to environmental stewardship include:

• use of recycled & eco-friendly packaging materials
• work with safe plastics & steer clear of questionable plastics like #6 polystyrene
• make sure colors do not contain heavy metals or environmentally harmful additives
• a wind-powered office PLUS the purchase of energy credits to offset what energy they do use
• support environmental research & development

Preserve supports an exhaustive list of non-profit & community organizations both locally and nationally. A few of their continuing initiatives include the National Wildlife Federation, Green America and the Natural Resources Defense Council.
