WASHINGTON (Oct. 3) — Two companies with ties to the rubber industry made the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency´s list of the top 25 "Green Power" organizations in the country.
The list acknowledges those organizations that maximize their electricity purchases from clean, renewable sources such as solar, wind, geothermal, biogas, biomass and low-impact hydro.
Johnson & Johnson Inc., which manufactures medical gloves, bandages and other products from natural rubber latex, placed fifth on the list, while chemical and polymer giant DuPont Co. ranked seventh.
The U.S. Air Force was first, followed in order by Wells Fargo & Co., Whole Foods Market, and the EPA itself.
