  Campaign:  [Hallmark | Caring In Action](/news/campaign/hallmark-caring-action)  ![](/sites/default/files/styles/carousel_2x/public/images/Dayspring1.png) 

2017 marked the fifth straight year that DaySpring, a Hallmark Greetings business, has achieved “zero waste to landfill” status at their facility in Siloam Springs, Arkansas. They have found alternate ways to process waste generated by DaySpring operations, either by recycling or burning at a waste-to-energy facility.

DaySpring’s annual waste reduction efforts resulted in:

- Enough energy generated to power 57 homes with electricity for a month;
- An average of 250,000 pounds of cardboard and plastics recycled each year;
- Recycling of all electronic waste through EPC, a recycling organization operating in accordance with the most secure industry practices in the world; and
- Donating aluminum can proceeds to a local charity in Siloam Springs.
