The Terravive vision is guided by our three main values:
Domestic Manufacturing, Sustainability, Strong Leadership
Our Values
Domestic Manufacturing
Terravive products are 100% made and manufactured in the United States, which allows our team to provide our clients with extremely strong and reliable supply chains with very stable pricing. After the Terravive raw material is produced in the United States, the resin is then converted into Terravive’s finished products that are also manufactured in the United States.
The sustainability benefits of producing Terravive’s raw material and converting that raw material into finished products all within the United States are immense. From a carbon emissions perspective, massive amounts of CO2 are saved by Terravive fully operating in the United States. Even though some may manufacture compostable products, many of Terravive’s competitors have global supply chains that produce significant amounts of carbon emissions in the production and transport of their products from overseas factories.
Additionally, Terravive’s manufacturing and supply chains in the United States allow us to provide very responsive services to our clients since we do not have to rely on overseas logistics delays. This responsiveness also allows our clients to hold less inventory than they may have to otherwise hold in anticipation of supply disruptions overseas.
Terravive’s domestic manufacturing facilities are ISO or SQF certified. They comply with all environmental and labor laws in the United States.
Strong Leadership
Strong leadership is a pillar of Terravive’s business strategy. To produce products with the highest level of quality, we must have unique perspectives and backgrounds represented in our team and work.
At Terravive, insightful leadership means understanding that differences in perspectives and backgrounds are actually our greatest strength. We’ve built a forward leaning and strong leadership team in which everyone is valued, respected, and expected to bring the full breadth of their life’s experience to ethically expand our business.
This starts with our executive team. Terravive is woman, minority, and veteran owned and is categorized as a WOSB, SDB, SWAM, and WBENC certified. Terravive believes that its past, current, and future successes are dependent on strategic hiring practices to ensure we have a highly functioning workforce. The best products and most qualified employees will enable Terravive to ultimately leverage our success to drive positive impact on society and healthier communities.
Sustainability
Terravive utilizes home compostable and ocean degradable materials and Terravive’s products are built to perform just like polyethylene and polystyrene plastic, but they truly break down like plants. Our products cleanly break down in rivers, seawater, lakes, landfills, industrial composters, and even your backyard! Terravive products will also never create microplastics that humans can ingest and none of our products have any added toxic PFAS (forever chemicals).
